Why not say 90 years of "interfering everywhere in the world"??? There's a distinct possibility you would not have been born if not for US meddling in European wars.
We well recognise the UN as the true world power, the voice of the people of the world. We will do as the majority wants us to. We shall propose the abolishment of veto's for countries who happen to have too much power. ... which gives the UN too much power. I don't remember too many times when the UN agreed on anything. And does the UN represent the entire world, every nation, every point of view??
Heck, if you want a single world government, when are we going to have a house-of-representatives type UN body which is based on population?
UN ambassadors aren't taken from the streets of cities .... they're generally well-connected people, like all politicians. I don't see how your "speech" would markedly improve jack-doodley.
I am not in favor of retalliation simply because whereas before we had individuals who had a grievance against the United States that may be without sufficient basis, for the US to make good on its recent words, we'd give people plenty more reason to hate the US. That is, I forsee more problems if the US steps up and slaps people around. For this is the same sort of meddling that your speech was apologizing for.
But if you are not willing to fight and you have those who are, how do you expect to prevail?
What is the just thing to do in a case like this? Say the hijackers had magically survived? What would be done with them in a "civilized" country such as yours?
For that matter, what would be done with a serial killer in your justice system?
