The United Nations just gave Iran Vice chairmanship of the Disarmament Commission.Why do we keep financing these clowns?

Stupidity. Government needs less smarty-smart lawyers and more people with common sense, in my opinion.

It's called appeasement.
Remember from your history class the lesson about Europe and the US turnignits head when Germany invaded Poland? They thought that if they ignored Hitler ,he would leave the rest of them alone. Just think of Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our time" speech. - Roberta

Yep you give a dictator an INCH and he will take a MILE.

The oil companies are the same way. When they rise prices a little bit at a time and then lower them only half way back down then the repeat the process over and over again over a 6 year period of time they think that they can pull the wool over our eyes. Blame the huge increases last Sept on the Hurricanes and then blame the huge increases this year on MTBE phase out. They always have an excuse to be greedy.

People if we don't rise up and start shouting at the entire system this is what we get. We get taken to the cleaners and it's all because we sit by passively like Chamberlain did when Hitler invaded Austria and then the Balkans and then and only then did we join England in declaring War on Germany after Hitler crossed into Poland. And then we didn't react until Germany declared war on us first. It took the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor to get us off our butts and into the war big time. Even the presence of German U boats off the coast of New Jersey and the sinking of American Merchant ships within sight of our shoreline didn't get us into WWII.

Our leaders know that the American people don't like war and it takes a Pearl Harbor to get us to go along with the war plans. I always have wondered how and why 911 really happened.

The earnings reports for last quarter come out this week. I'll bet ANYONE a bag of Crappie Filets that Exxon's profits are over $8 billion.
