Taking advice on moral and ethical humanitarian conduct from the United Nations is as intelligent a choice to make as if H&R Block were to hire Leona Helmsley as its CEO. First off, I don't recall the UN being particularly intertested in peace keeping when 300 of their heavily armed soldiers started shooting into homes, a church and a school using machine guns, tanks and tear gas in one of the poorest communities in Haiti. Second, let us not forget the sexual abuses committed against underage girls in the Congo, who often were left to raise a child as a result. Moving onward we can all recall the UN's failure to act on the genocide in Rwanda, the second Congo War (which killed 5 million people btw), the Srebrencia killings (UN called it a safe haven for refugees), and inability to deliver food to starving men, woman and children in Somalia. And it would be a terrible mistake to forget the now infamous Oil-For-Food scandal that did nothing but soldify the loss of integrity in the United Nations building. Do we really want to base our conduct on the actions of an organization who has on its Commission on Human Rights countries like Sudan, Cuba and Libya? These are more than just mistakes Daccory, these are catastrophic failures that have come at the expense of a countless number of human beings. The problem lies not in the voting process but in the mentality; peace can only be accomplished through a position of strength not latency and a wish to please even the worst of dictators.
