UN forces are NOT under the command of the UN staff. They are under the control of the UN Security Council alone. A decision to take action that goes beyond a mandate must be made by the SC itself. Any decision to take action that the SC has already mandated is up to the Force Commander in the field.

Trust me. I know.

The case of Kofi Annan doing absolutely NOTHING to stop the genocide in Rwanda is EXACTLY whats wrong with the UN.

Who gives a crap about UN mandates when literally hundreds of thousands of people are about to be murdered? Imo Kofi Annan screwed up in a big way. He should have at least let Dallaire take action.

By not taking action the UN didnt show its impartiality imo, the UN showed passive consent to the killings.

Euros are not uneducated compared to americans when viewed on spending. Same applies to international studies of literacy and sciences.

Actually the ratio is quite the opposite.

No one cares if Jordan and Turkey bought oil from Saddam or who knew about it. I sure don't. Now if that article said something about 'pay-offs to Clinton's daughter' were the reward given for the Clinton's blind eye then you might have something.

Kofi Annan’s son admits oil dealing

I doubt we could have stopped illegal oil being sold to any of countries bordering Saddam even if we wanted to.
 

Well mr. Annan said, that he didnt know about his sons deals. He said that he will help any domestical authorities with enquiry and if he will be found guilty, he shall be punished.

How about people who were involved in US ? ...  last time we spoke about corurption, some people overhere just considered it as legal bussines.

Por lo que veo, usted es cubano.  Mi esposa tambien es cubana, y tiene toda la familia en Miami, desde hace cuarenta anos.  Ahora vivimos en Michigan, donde no sabemos si hay cubanos;  muchos mexicanos, pero no cubanos.  Millones de arabes de todo tipo, pero no cubanos.

Extrano los cubanos.  Extrano los platanos, medianoches, y flan.

Now that I have exhausted my spanish for the evening...
