A while ago I read about a group of Iraqi asylum seekers who had attacked four royal marines whilst they were returning to their barracks.
One of the iraqis pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the marines, so the another marines obviously try to defend their mate who had just been stabbed.
The marines were holding a *kit sale* that day and this was to auction off for charity their dead mates stuff (he had died in a copter crash in Iraq).
Anyways one of the Asylum seekers has put in a complaint against a marine because the marine had assaulted him - even though he was part of the group that had ambushed the marines and he had been arrested two days before for carrying a knife.
What SHOULD happened is the Iraqis should be kicked out the country straight away and the complaint against the marine dropped. What WILL happen is the Iraqi will get a few grand for all the distress that has occured to him and the marine will proberbly be up for a court Martial.
We will have to wait and see what happens.

But didn't they veto those resolutions?
4.
4 that can be seen as good?
*shrugs*
It's a start. I'd like to see them at the Kyoto summit as a beginning to makes amends

I find it very difficult to understand the concept of a "legitimate" war.
War to rescue people under a repressive regime. great.
War to pre-empt supposed threats to our own borders. well done
War to secure much needed resources. lovely
I don't see how legality can come into it when all that needed to happen for it to become legal again was for a little frenchman to keep his hands by his sides.

Ha! Hah!
Look at how many times the US has used it's "power of veto". More than any other member state, I think you'll find.
But yes, having a power of veto can mean there is a propencity for abuse. Having said that, the US has abused its' power of veto far more times than any other country. And then when Russia uses its' veto, it's immediately castigated for it. How strange.
