The use of Chemical weapons in Syria?
We have treaties after treaties that ban chemical weapons...
Yet, when they are used in violation of International laws, the UN is useless.
It is useless because how it is structured. When you have a 5 member security council,

Why is it that the creator of heaven and earth would allow himself and those who believe in him to be ridiculed and persecuted. Why he would not only let them exsist but allow them to thrive while here on earth. I asked my Son and he said "free will." That's true but I feel it goes deeper...

It is announced that the Trump administration has decided to cut funding to the United Nations. One of the best and bold decisions by an American President.

I can understand the positives of putting your faith in such and such religion, which is why I do not think religion as a whole should be completely eradicated, however in this day and age I honestly wouldn't mind if it was.My question is this: why does religion NEED to exist? If you say "So...

The US has a storied past of placing dictators in charge of countries we either overthrow or buy and then have the whole thing thrown back in our faces when it fails. It's not always the norm but with leaders like the Shah of Iran, Manuel Noriega, Saddam Husein and some indicators show Hamid...
