    I think the use of veto in the UN is not relevant to present era anymore. That is not a reflection from democracy spirit (outdated).

      Who vetoed the resolution? The moron Bush? Not surprised! When the dirty idiot will be gone maybe some reason will come in the US foreign policies.

      Why am I not surprised by this Security Council veto. The US almost reflexively vetoes any motion that even is slightly critical of Israel (unless we are the authors, in which the criticism is of a slap-on-the-hand nature).

        No, no no......these are not people, they are terroists like the Nazi's. Or when the Nazies were in power, the Jews and Communists were deserving of atrocities. In any war, the side of right belongs to the one who writes the history books!

          i agree that veto is a silly thing to agree with these days. how can US say that they are democratic country when they can't follow majority decision?

          i think UN has lost its significance in world's peace.

            I didn't see any complaint when Libya refused to go along with the UN council decree against the forces of genocide in support of the arab nation's decree that the Holocaust in Darfur was really not happening.

            Note that the murdered were BLACKs by the lighter skinned.

            The Black Muslims of Darfur in Sudan exhibit two risk indicators for continued rebellion against the government of Sudan: territorial concentration and government repression. As long at the government-supported Janjaweed genocidal attacks continue, there will be no peace in Darfur. The Janjaweed attacks are not as frequent or as severe as they once were but they have continued, especially against Black Muslims returning to their homes from Chad and refugee camps. The United States government described the situation in Darfur as genocide in 2004.

            So Hamas can attack Israel but when Israel attacks back some how it's so bad. Is it Israels fault that Hamas attack them from peoples homes? No they are cowards who attack from the shadows.

                Hamas murder campaign in Gaza exposed, guardian.co.uk, Friday 13 February 2009 18.19 GMT

                New evidence has emerged revealing the extent of the crackdown by Hamas during and after Israel's war in Gaza last month.

                Amnesty International said Hamas forces and militias were involved in a "campaign of abductions, deliberate and unlawful killings, torture and death threats against those they accuse of 'collaborating' with Israel, as well as opponents and critics". It said at least two dozen men had been shot by Hamas since the end of December and "scores of others" shot in the legs, kneecapped or beaten.Amnesty gave detailed accounts of some of the cases and said there was "incontrovertible evidence" that Hamas security forces and militia were "responsible for grave human rights abuses". Hamas officials have admitted hunting for suspected collaborators, but they have denied this campaign of attacks.
