U.N. Iraq Vote Gives U.S. Victory [AP World News] So, after all the stalling and all the nit-picking over this word and that word, this phrase and that phrase, the bullying US regime finally gets its way. What a sad, sad day for the United Nations! What a desperate example of the tail wagging the dog! And what a strange coincidence that all the resistance within the Security Council should tumble with such dramatic speed so soon after the appalling outcome of the US mid-term elections!       This is a terrible time to be alive, and a terrible time for the peace and stability of the world. Dubyoo rules? Not OK! 3:29:06 AM  Your view
