I already posted my anti-UN message for the day, but I did want to provide a link to a very excellent article by Joe Mariani in The Conservative Voice. His critique of the UN is much more detailed and linked than mine (he is the professional, after all), and worth the time to read it.
Every year, thousands of lives are lost to the UN’s corruption and vacillation, and untold numbers of crimes, large and small, are committed by its representatives. I’m not just talking about the reams of unpaid parking tickets issued annually by the NYC police, either. More than 800,000 Tutsi and Hutu died in Rwanda in 1994 while UN troops watched, prevented from acting by layers of bureacracy and a divided Security Council. Thousands of Bosnian Muslims were slaughtered by Serbs in Srebrenica while UN observers, well, observed. More recently, UN peacekeepers watched as Hizballah terrorists launched rockets attacks against Israeli civilians on a daily basis, even reporting that Hizballah “fired from the vicinity of five UN positions” in July 2006. Indeed, the UN’s legacy of inaction is exceeded in criminality only by its actions.
