What kind of country initiates dialogue by saying we'll bomb you back to the stone age unless you do what we say?

They could at least come up with a more original expression.

They just issued a correction: Pakistan never did get out of the Stone Age so bombing couldn't put them back there.

What's the problem here?

They left Pakistan with a choice, stop harbouring terrorists or be blown back to the stone age.

Their ball.

It's kind of a tried and true attention getter. Direct, and to the point. No need to ask for clarification.

That's funny I don't remember anyone saying it was illegal when that despot in Iran said he wanted to wipe Israel off the map. Did you have him in mind for a judge in the international justice system.

I bet Bradco supports intervention and capture of that hooligan, don't you bradco?

Or do the rules only apply to our side, and the terrorist crazies over there can say what they wish?

You're equating the U.S. with Iran?

Nor when the Bush started to holler about regime change. And look where that went!

my crazy liberal side tells me:

He definetly needed some sort of punishment for that kind of blatant disregard for international law

intervention might not be appropriate action for punishment for making threats to the territorial integrity of another country, Ill save that for when there actually is a violation of the terrirtorial integrity.

That being said there needs to be action against ALL leaders who break laws. If I threaten to wipe my neighbour off the face of the planet Ill probably be getting a call from the police and rightfully so. Amadinejad really got me going this week standing up in front of the GA and arguing we need to reform the SC.....whats the point of reforming if you refuse to obey the most basic areed upon rules of international law....penalties (maybe some sort of fine for comments like his) handed done by the ICJ would be a solution (in a perfect world). With no reliable enforcement international law is a game of power and self-interest on a case to case basis. This is the problem with building a liberal internationalist, idealist institution in a world clearly defined by realism.....props for any success the UN can have.

I believe the original quote was ..."to the late tertiary period of the neolithic".....but you know how media dumbs things down.

...What kind of country initiates dialogue by saying we'll bomb you back to the stone age unless you do what we say?...

It's not the "country" that said this, it is one person in an out of control administration that is part of an enormous government who made this statement. Or would you rather we attribute to an entire country the statements of one government official? Isn't this what Canadians rejected during the entire Carolyn Parrish debacle? Why not condemn all of Zimbabwe for the often ridiculous statements of Robert Mugabe's?
