Now Israel may decide if they “may” authorize a visit to their country by the United Nations or not. Did Saddam Hussein block any UN investigators to his country when the “Intelligence Agencies” said he had weapons of mass destruction? No, Saddam Hussein allowed UN access to all the areas of his country. The UN inspectors were just to slow for the USA; they had to invade the country at all costs.
Now the UN led by Nobel Peace laureate, Desmond Tutu was refused entry to investigate the massacre of 19 people (at least 14 were women and children). Israel says it does not see the role of the UN mission, that it has already “acknowledged” its mistake. So if you are friends with the likes of the USA and UK, you can make “mistakes” like these, killing innocent people and not being held responsible? As long as you “acknowledge” your mistake, you won’t be called a terrorist, dictator or threat to world peace?
The UN kept silent when the USA invaded Iraq, killing thousands of civilians in the process. The UN kept silent when the USA invaded Afghanistan, killing thousands of civilians. Now the UN is helpless in investigating matters like these? Will no one hold politicians responsible for their decisions and actions? If the UN are not allowed to ask and investigate these questions, who will?
When is it fine to make “mistakes” like these? Is it right to destroy a home with women and children using artillery fire because the “intelligence” pointed to someone close by as a suspected terrorist? Where will the line be drawn? The USA destroyed a whole country for that reason, so it seems that politicians may kill as many people they like as long as they use the words, fight terrorism or “acknowledge” a mistake afterwards. This world has become a far more dangerous place to live than in the old cold war days!
