    Nothing is perfect. I think it is time that people grow out of their fantasy worlds were everything is perfect because life is clearly not like that. It is nice to have ideals and to strive for them but the ideal is not met 99.9999% of the time. Ideals are set in place so we have something to continuously work towards. The UN may not have stopped the violence in the Balkins or in anyother place but look at what they did accomplish… Grow up people.

    i laugh at how the UN decides to send “peacekeepers” to a regioun were there is no goddamn peace. ladies and gentlemen, the UN security councel is corrupt and does not work. The five major super power countries with “veto” power, that is, the ability to cancell another countries efforts to go and squelch a war, are the worlds begist arms dealers, that being the US, Russia, China, Britain and France. Darfur has happend because Sudan is a major supplier of Oil to china, so china did its part in…

    People don’t think for themselves anymore. If people continue to kill off the innocent people, and allow the military that are doing these attrocities to continue living, then there’s gonna be nothing but mass murderers roaming the earth with guns. What good will life even be on this planet then?

    This is why its so important to protect the non violent and good people. When there’s noone left to fight, you’re all gonna turn on eachother.

    what happens to the protectors when there are no longer any threats to those they protect?
    do they expand the list of threats?
    or do they themselves become the threat?

    Irish should consider ending UN missions, for a start.

    The UN has lost it’s way. The UN Oil for Food scandal. UN troops raping children in the Congo. The Dutch Peace keepers fleeing Srebenica. This film is typical anti-Serb propaganda. Very few reports were about Bosnian Muslim atrocities against Serbs were reported in the international press. The UN doesn’t work because the member nations are always more interested in their own agendas. End the UN now!

    These blue beret bastards were the only ones in the Balkan wars that deserved to get butchered and slaughtered.

    That’s sadly the way it is. But don’t worry, what Milosevic and Karadic did, and achieve should be admired. They stopped (or tried) the genocide of innocents, yet they are the ones that were accused. I hope Karadic gets off (Which I doubt, they’ll kill him like they did Milosevic)

    why should the irish consider ending un missions

  29. ocean3da (September 25, 2009, 8:42 am). Reply

    It is sad. That there are dead soldiers who served to try and make peace somewhere peace cannot be made with just a little army under the UN.

    The Irish Army could not protect Ireland from attack.It could not even if it wanted to, take over an island in the pacific.

    i hate ppl like you who think de irish army is crap just think when are we gonna get attacked nd by who ffs stop sayinf its crap were neutral we dont need a large defence force

  32. ocean3da (September 26, 2009, 6:14 am). Reply

    Read my profile. I am half Irish.I say the truth. I submit to no phoney pride.Ireland does not need a defence force. Costa Rica has none. More countries could learn from them.

  33. ocean3da (September 26, 2009, 6:17 am). Reply

    And to add, the British Army could be scaled down in the North.Like the view that is worldwide is, “standing armies are the preclude to war.”At least if there isn’t a united Ireland at least at one at peace with no Army of any kind.May be this is only dreaming.

    i still dont see y we dont need a defence force

  35. ocean3da (September 27, 2009, 11:12 am). Reply

    Why does you’re country need one?A police force, and a civilian style coast guard should be fine.A few helicopters.Think about the army training in eire, it pollutes the land etc

    :) If only there was no title to the president as commander of the Army.I know the title to the president holds no authority.

  37. ocean3da (September 27, 2009, 11:18 am). Reply

    And if the Army missions for the UN can’t be scaled down, and if the Army can’t be abolished.Then the final goal for the iDF is that there are more women. Representing at least 35%.There are too many barriers, a lot of problems getting women to join.

    Ireland faces no threat. Not today, not in a century’s time.

    the title of president holds alot of authority in ireland every thing the government does has tho pas through her.

  40. ocean3da (September 27, 2009, 4:14 pm). Reply

    The president does not hold authority over anything.Other than, head of state and referring bills to the supreme court. As guardian of the constitution.Anything the president does is on advice of the government. (Dissolving the dail)Anything else is just to make it look important. Like the supreme commander. If only it didn’t exist. I can’t wait for the day.A president utopia style no army title!!!! Freedom , peace, citizen style. No to any army!The PM’s office is the most important.

  41. ocean3da (September 27, 2009, 4:15 pm). Reply

    I know I am a little nutty about no army, peace, neutrality.No to colonalism!

  42. ocean3da (September 27, 2009, 4:22 pm). Reply

    I forgot to say, the dail can be refused to be dissolved. If the PM, or taosigh if that is spelt correctly.Loses a vote of No confidence. So the president has that power. But really, a very powerless one. But that is the way it is.
