Oh....... don't forget, he uses doubles. 8-10 of 'em at last report. Make sure you get the right guy, ok?

Good luck!


Sure. Hard nut to crack.
But locking at the astimated coasts (70 billion$) and the astimated lost lives (260,000) itshould be worth at least a try.

You think so?

So the fact that Asami in Japan pays nearly 7$ and Bobby Lee in Us pays 3,50$ has nothing to do with it?

As the UN means Nations...no I don't.

If it said U as per capita N then you might have a point....but as it stands now, you don't.

The fact remains that as a nation the US bears more of the cost than any other nation on this planet, period.

You can try to slice and dice it all you want, it doesn't change that one undisputable fact.

Or you can try that weak EU argument again, but then again, the EU is not a single Nation is it?  That "union" sure isn't United.

Ok, You win, I surrender. US pays the most and should have more of a saying in UN.

After being married to a American woman for quite some time, I´ve learned when to yield.

LOL Crabofix,

I'm married to an Italian women, and hence have learned the very same lesson!!

I don't mean to imply that the US should have more say at all.

It a simple fact that, as a nation, we pay a heavier burden than the other nations.

I would like to see the other security council nations, at the least, pay the same amounts.

When foreign aid contributions are being considered, the fact that U.S. defense expenditures are so large contributes tremendously to world stability IMO.  Any potential aggressor must consider and reject the cost of contending for Number 1. Can you imagine the sorts of arms races that would erupt should the United States disarm or disappear?  Other governments would be looking at trillions in new expenditures.  Japan would probably have to go nuclear, hmm mebbe build some aircraft carriers too.  Would Germany feel the need for nukes as well?

The United States defense capability puts a crimp in any dictator's dream of large-scale international aggression.  How much is that worth on a year-to-year basis?

Dear hangtime, Eu dos´nt have a permanent post in the security council, France have, Germany can not put down a veto, neither can Belgium.

But just cash up some money to the Pakestenians and Guinea, Gawd knows the names of the others, and you will have a complete democratic decition in the spirit of the freedom loving USA. A little corrupted, but still....
