Oh, I suppose they will drain the Iraq oil fields to pay for the damage they do. Saw a picture in the National Post today.Baghdad looks like a very beautiful city. The USA government has not been supporting the UN for years, They do not pay their share of dues; yet the UN spend a sizeable portion of their money in the USA. The USA is unwilling to join the land mines ban or to join the International Criminal court or to sign the Kyota Accord. Why this pressing need to "free the Iraqi people". The terrorists of the World Trade Center were not from Iraq. If the USA wants to stop terrorism they would do well to start with reigning in Israel and its refusal to respect UN resolution re; invading Palestinian territory and occupying Palestinian territory.
The UN needs to be rebuilt with many changes. I do not believe that any of 5 countries should have a veto. Perhaps in the present form it should be at least 2 vetos. Which was present this time. I also do not believe that there should be 5 permanent members. The world and governments are constantly changing and The UN should be changeable to reflect this reality.
I think Canada should have a bigger role within the UN. We may be small in population but we are large in size and resources that need to be recognized and protected.
