Whatever gives them the biggest bang for the buck!:rotfl::rotfl: I just kill me.

On the contrary! The UN is busy as a bee.

Oh I did see that - amazing. Just as bad as the UN Human Rights Council :yep:

Time to send the UN packing and convert that valuable real estate into office space or condo's.

The whole idea of the UN is a joke when more than half of the member states sit and vote on measures and yet they deny the same right to their citizens at home. Time to establish a new goals oriented organization based on bona fide republics or parliementary democracies ONLY. Hint - China, North Korea, Cuba, Suadi Arabia, Sudan Iran or Zimbabwe need not apply.

I wonder what has become of the captives?..haven't heard much about it.

Had one question for AL...if these had been Israeli soldiers do you think the response would have been similiar to that which happened in Lebanon?...I am thinking if it was American soldiers it would have become a nasty situation...I am thinking much of the same...I know it is a "What if" scenario...and cannot be known but I am just thinking how fragile the world situation is atm.....

That depends on 2 things:

1. Each particular hostage scenario.

2. Whether I'm in charge or the current idiots are.

I can't help but thinking that if the United States and Great Britain had not overthrown Iranian Premier Mohammad Mossadeq, then installed and supported the evidoer the Shah, then had Jimmy Carter toast the Shah on New Years 1977, that we wouldn't be in the current situation with Iran.

As yee sow, so shall yee reap.

Correction: the Shah had been the monarch of Iran since 1941.

Think again.

No need to.

Excellent summation.

Thank You AL...

This was funny I thought on the comments from the link you gave AL...

"Well, they ought to just remove the Union Jack from their halyard and replace it with a white flag everytime they go out in their little dinghy’s. There’s no sence in inciting the Iranians."

lol...
