Global Warming

[badsede]

OK, what is American Papist's deal with global warming? It seems like he links to every little article out there that is contradictory to or dismissive of claims of the existence of global warming and its consequences or that it is human-caused. This is the kind of thing that really bugs me, when Catholics integrate their political ideologies

The UN would not be convinced by its own data to enforce 17 of its own resolutions.

The UN hardly enforces any of its own resolutions. If it did, the US would be in serious trouble. The US is in violation of several UN resolutions. Israel is in violation of more than Iraq was.

There was more to go on, but the US administration went with scary falsehoods instead of the heinous truths. The US had run out its credibility by that point, and that was the problem .. but this is a conversation we have had before. If the US had had any credibility with the international community at that point, the human rights violations and war crimes of Hussein would have been enough.

Cheney's comments about Iraq being a central front in the war on terror were not inaccurate.

But that's not what I'm talking about. He claimed that Iraq was the geographic center of the *9/11* attacks, not just the central front in the war on terror. He outirght said that the 9/11 terrorists were based in Iraq. Bush claimed connections between the organization responsible for the attacks and Hussein. And *neither* have been substantiated.

That the public believed something that was never actually stated says more about the public.

It certainly does. And when a government capitalizes on misconceptions and reinforces them rather than confronting the truth, that says a lot about that government.
