| #6 Sample UN-style definitions: Terrorism is a mean attack against innocents, but to make an omelet freedom fighters must break a few eggs. Human rights are universal, but government must set limits according to local customs. Genocide must never happen again, but there are other words for the systematic killing of defenseless populations. Global warming is a weak hypothesis, but it must be stopped at any cost, to be paid by the West only. Love is a political message; I am sure Saddam Hussein loves his people... Oh, sorry, that was Chirac. |

| #5 "... efforts to write a global anti-terror treaty have been at an impasse since 1996, bogged down in the UN's legal committee as member states wrangle over the definition of terrorism..." -------------- One sentence, actually written by a UN apologist, illustrates the futility of the UN. |

| #4 ain't a-gonna happen. Any rational definition of terrorism would include the violence perpetrated against Israeli civilians. The UN hates Israel and has too many factions who benefit from continued paleo terror. Therefore, they'll stall and twist and do everything else... EXCEPT define terrorism. |
