Yet another religious cult raided

[--Pete]

Hi,

. . . I would also question whether the UN really has the authority to govern the actions of nations, . . .

Has the 'authority' from whom? Ultimately, international relations are based on 'might makes right'. Whether that might is based on military power, economic power, or consensus of opinion permitting things like sanctions to work, it's still just power. History may not agree with the actions of any given generation, but by then it's too late. So the UN has whatever authority it can muster. Sometimes that's good, sometimes bad.

And I'm glad to see that even in Texas the rule of law finally prevailed. It's just sad that, again, prejudice trumped justice until superior force forced the Neanderthals back into their caves.
