FF,
I noted your response, but you seemed to admit that the vote itself was important, too. Which is more valuable to us, the money or the vote? How much money is it compared to our current debt and war spending?
And Handy, why is it when some people ojnline ask a question and get an answer they just seem to ignore it if it isn't what they apparently want to hear? Or maybe you just missed it...
If you are referring to the above, I really didn't know what to make of it as FF made two somewhat opposing statements.
Some of the other arguments are just silly, though. Like the ones that say the UN is going to get us because
we are going to
ask them to. If our leaders are going to screw us, they really don't need the UN to help. I see you just suggested something like that.
How about this: We leave the UN, vote in a government that wishes the US became part of a global empire, so they take what we save by not paying UN dues and hire a private Army to subdue the US and hand it back to the UN. Does that sound circular enough for you?
It keeps coming back to the fact that the only people that can hurt America is Americans. The UN can only stand up and cheer. There are no ready made armies with the size, technology and especially will to oppose us. All of Europe couldn't do squat, and they'd have to get here first. No, I don't fear Canadians.
