The UN was created so that we never had to see the horrors of the Holocaust again. In 1993, they failed their mission in the worst way. Tano, since you seem to be the one ignorant of history and geopolitics, I’m referring to Rwanda. Up until that point I always erred with “hey, the UN is only trying its best in a bad world!” We said ‘never again’ not ‘never again as long as they aren’t black people’. (Oh and I blame the United States for not intervening as well, just the UN had the prime responsibility.) And don’t try your little “oh you ignorant Middle American” ad hominem. I’m from the bluest of the blue states, raised by blue-staters (I just happen to have a rational brain, unlike my brethren at home).

First time I saw Kofi I said he looked like he crawled out of a bottle of Mad Dog Liquor. those people are corrupt to the bone and Secy Bolton is right to do some flaying. Throughout the acts of dictatorial rulers, killing of innocent people and tyrants attempting to spread their influence this organization sat back and did nothing. Oil For Food, Rwanda, their milqtoast forces raping young girls, etc. They always want the power, the money and prestige but never any responsibility. Their stay in this country should be ended permanently along with our association with them. They feel indignant enough to insult us well they can go and handle their own afairs. The fact is, they need US more than we need them. that’s the one thing they’ll never admit.

Rick Moran has an excellent summation of John Bolton’s red-hot reply to UN lackey Mark Malloch Brown, the British Deputy UN Secretary-General, who made a sneering speech that implied that the average American doesn’t properly understand the UN. From …

Bolton for President 2008

There is a reason that the UN is located in NY and not middle America. Out there I would think that the locals only tolerate bull cr*p that comes from animals. Imagine a UN member caught in a criminal act explaining to the ‘locals’ that it’s ok because he has Diplomatic immunity!

Bolton should push harder. The UN operates based on balance of power. Unfortunately, that means bad countries persist because the UN resists efforts to reform those members.

A very good start. Work in Abu Ghraib, Haditha, “no operational connection”, maybe a mention of NASCAR and Wal-Mart, a link to some whiny Saint Sully post slamming “Christianists” and maybe, just maybe, Markos will promote you to diarist.
