UN Exposed Again

The United Nations is little more than a loosely grouped collection of mostly vagabonds with few collective goals and fewer constraints within its flailing bureaucracy to do much of anything about it--if it even wanted to.

Seeking peace? The UN would really love them some peace too, as long as the warring factions would just lay down their guns on their own without UN forces actually having to, you know, face the sights of a rifle.

UN troops stood by and watched villages wiped out in the Balkans, watched villages get wiped out in Rwanda, and watched tens of thousands of people die in the Sudan before being able to officially document it as "not genocide." Not content to simply watch the victimization of villagers in DR Congo, UN peace keepers got into the act themselves and were widely engaged in an epidemic of sexual assault.

The UN has provided cover to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon as they have rearmed for the oncoming onslaught against Israel as well as lined their own pockets in the oil for food scandal.

Things just don't seem to be getting much better as it appears as if the UN is the gift that keeps on giving.

The BBC is reporting tonight that UN troops in DR Congo have also been involved in the arms trade, ivory trade, illegal gold trade, and the propping up of the militia primarily responsible for mass murder in Rwanda.

Is this a surprise to anyone?
