NPOV??[edit]

Neutralizer, can you explain why this edit is NPOV? Just curious. Jason Safoutin 13:14, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Jason, since we put in the article the USA's perspective on the news event, we should also put in the counter perspective, Cuban perspective is typically the reverse of America's, I think. I suppose we could remove both but I think it makes a better read like it is? Neutralizer 13:23, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
IMO if we remove the so-called US POV then we must remove Cuba';s and any other county's POV. By adding the US, Cuba and any other country, it demonstrates NPOV...removing the "US POV" as you put it, simulates, IMO, a NON-NPOV stance. Jason Safoutin 13:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As both POV (Cuba and USA) are clearly writen down into the UN press release... it's ok Jacques Divol

Stupid question[edit]

If the U.S. voted against, why does that not count as a veto? -- 129.21.37.23 13:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's General Assembly vote, not Security Council vote where USA against vote is a veto. Not the same thingJacques Divol 14:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
last : there's NO stupid question, bad answers are worst ! Jacques Divol 14:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree: there are stupid questions. This, however, is not one. 134.114.59.41 05:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
