SOCIALIST ACTION NOVEMBER 1990 11 they have the United Nations behind it. The United Nations has become a powerful excuse and screen to cover up the Rambo activities of the U.S. in the Middle East.
Let us remember that the United States, when it so chooses, thumbs its nose at the International Court of Justice. When invited to participate and answer to crimes perpetrated against Nicaragua-the mining of harbors in Nicaragua-the U.S. showed the international community. They refused to show up. They just did not care.
Today we are treated to the spectacle of the United States—that "respecter" of international law and the international community and its bodies-saying that it didn't act alone, that it has the support and solidarity of Margaret Thatcher and Gorbachev, among others. And that it's not doing something evil, immoral, or illegal. I think we know better.
