QuoteThe UN has never been able to control such a situation. Understandable in the world of politics, but makes their magalomania utterly unjustified.
Alright, you know in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones where the princess whats-her-face goes to the world council and give a vote of no confidance? I have the same feeling twards the U.N. I think its sad and incompetent. Somthing needs to change. The US should NOT be the World Police, stepping in to overstep the UN and act as it sees fit. The UN needs to have the reasources and military to deal with these problems, as well as a leader to keep countries accountable for their actions. When America went to war with direct disapproval of the UN (regardless if the choice was right or wrong) there were virtually no repercussions, even when it was proven the war was waged over lies and false pretenses (WoMD?). The UN basically just walked away with its tail between its legs and let the US do whatever it wanted. I see somthing wrong in that...
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Saddam or anything and I don't think that Iraq should have been left alone. He commited pleanty of war crimes and massacares against his own people and is a dictator asshole without even considering the possibility of his administration owning WoMD. He deserves to be imprisioned for life or much much worse. But you know what? HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAPTURED A LONG TIME AGO! Why did we hunt him down now? Because Mr.Bush wants us to think he sent planes to crash into the WTC and Pentagon. The fact is that there are pleanty of "evil-doers" just as bad or worse than Saddam who are flying under the radar.
Thats how the world is.
