What do you do in a dark, dark world where there is no effective united body to stand up to the militants of the world?
This just in from Reuters:
Syria will keep supporting Hamas and Hizbollah despite U.S. threats to impose more sanctions on it, a government newspaper said on Thursday.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice threatened this week to toughen sanctions Washington imposed on Syria in 2004, mainly because of its support for the two movements, which Washington regards as “terrorist organizations”.
“Syria is more determined to stand by the resistance until the land is liberated and Israel is defeated,” an editorial in the newspaper Baath said.
Rice said this week that the United States was going “to have to look at tougher measures if Syria continues to be on the path that it’s on.” She said Washington would like other nations to join it in imposing “other kinds of sanctions” on Syria.
Notice Condi is not calling on the ineffectual, bloated, anti-American UN to help; and rightly so. The UN has never passed an effective resolution against the Arab world in the 64 years it has been in place.
Syria has always been a blight on the world, and ranks right up there with Iran and North Korea as the largest threats to world stability. They are overcome with hatred for Israel and any who stand with her.
The international community sits back and does nothing, and allows Syria to continue to openly supply terrorist organization that blatantly attack civilian targets. The US cannot continue to be the world conscience – its time for a new approach. If the UN cannot do its job, then it is time to scrap it and bond with countries of like mind; replacing the UN with a construct that can and dose act.
