Story: Keep Internet out of UN control, says US
Posted by: Setsuna (Thursday 20 October 2005, 4:26 PM)
This reminds me of the farscape project, when John came back from space and the US jumped down his throat to keep any and all tech and info he has acquired "US eyes only". FFS, this is just another way for the US to manifest its destiny ( no pun intended). Te point of it is , while ths US is known as "freedom-mc-free-free", all of its actions in the past indicate otherwise. Its really disgusting to see how greedy this damn country has become. Lemme just point out one example that has completely turned my stomach against the US, during the geneva convention, when talks about the treatment of POWs was outlined, and it came time to sign and agree, many countries did, but the US, however, did not.It agreed that their POWs should not be maltreated,but it did not sign and agree when it came time for them reciprocate with US's POWs. Meaning that the US has the right to do as they friggin please with their POWs , and they won't be held accountable under the geneva convention's laws, yet god forbid that they get wind that one of their soldiers is being mistreated in by a country that did sign.
The UN may not be perfect, but at least none of its conforming countries would ever have elected that cowpuncher GWB, yet alone RE-ELECT him.
