We do need to reform the UN and rid our self of the Veto rights of the five.

It is time that the 192 Nations that make up the UN become equals and have equal rights as well as equal democratic weight, or at least proportional. In light of Population and Economy as well as Geography.

I think that the foundation of a global moral framework is needed in this world. Not a global government. People are free to choose what they want for their country. They must only prevent harm to anyone directly or indirectly when doing it, and respect the freedoms and rights of all people. Governments should also have to prove to a court or something like that their inaction when situations of non-compliance arise. If they refuse... I dunno... we'll think about that.

;)

Bottom line: we need some binding moral authority the world can turn to in situations such as this.

I do not disagree, yet even countries are nothing but artificial unions some forced and other chosen. Look at France for instance, The Basque want to be Basque not French, and yet they would like to be part of the European Union, same for the Coarse and Breton, Alsatian and Reunion. Same for Canada, The Albertans want to be Albertans and not Canadian and the Quebecer want to be Quebecer first and yet all want international rules and peace and so on. One Army under UN legislation and 300 some countries or more members to vote on Global issues. It is the what Germany does Work and why it is today the only European Country where you will not find any separatist group. a Real Federation as it should be. The UN could work like that or be inspired by the EU the German and the US model. Texas is still Texas even though it is part of the federation and it does have the constitutional right to leave the federation as well.

The massacre continues unabated. Stay safe Sameh.

A quick overview of the respective sides resources helps bring perspective to what can only be described as a massacre.

Israel's arsenal includes:

...about 1000 main battle tanks, 1500 lower quality tanks, over 1000 artillery pieces, over 500 warplanes, about 200 helicopters, 13 warships, and 3 submarines. It has the latest unmanned aerial vehicles and can gather very precise intelligence using aerial photography and satellites.

Nuclear Weapons:

Combining these variables with the highest suggested power output of the reactor -- 200 MWt -- would suggest a total stockpile of between 250 and 500 weapons by the end of 2005. And combining these variables with the suggested power level of 150MWt would yield a total stockpile of between 200 and 375 weapons by the end of 2005.

Manpower:

Israel's active military is estimated to be some 170,000. With universal conscription, it has some 2.4 million people between 17-49 years old fit for military service and everyone has had some training.

Money:
