Can you tell what ever happened to nice americans?
SNIP:

Here's a thought that just occurred to me and one that I have never
seen any reference to in any media emission -
Back in the 30's Italy invaded Ethipia. Haile Selassie implored the
League of Nations for help in an eloquent and emotional speech. The
League did nothing, when a naval blockade would have stopped Italy
cold, since it has no internal source of oil. It is arguable that this
inaction led to the League's becoming an impotent organization unable
to influence future developments in Europe.
It is also arguable that Hitler was thus encouraged in his territorial
desires by this inaction.
Now - just what effective actions did the UN take to suppress Saddam's
desires, esepcially considering the counter-sanction actions by France
and Russia?

enough friends and colleagues in SEA, so cut me some slack.)
