I know I would.  I read about the criminal havoc spread by the UN every day.   It's sad to see you support it.

Let's see... you care enough about why I and others think the UN is pretty well worthless.

But you don't care enough to read a really good article on how the UN got to such a state.

I see.

Hey, don't educate yourself. You wouldn't want an understanding of the other guy's position to cloud your mind. We're used to you just the way you are.

Martlet, don't be too hard on him. I'm sure he went with the best of intentions. I'm sure he didn't realize that the UN ROE were setting him up for painful failure not of his own making.

His blind adoration is a little unsettling, though.

The report documents 68 cases of alleged rape, prostitution and pedophilia by U.N. peacekeepers from Pakistan, Uruguay, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa and Nepal.


Surprisingly the countries that have a bad reputation with womens rights also produced the bad apples in question. Most of them developing countries, too.

Compare what the UN is doing anywhere to this in Iraq:

A freely elected National Assembly will soon meet.

This new transitional National Assembly will:

1. Serve as Iraq's national legislature for a transition period.

2. Name a Presidency Council, consisting of a President and two Vice Presidents (the Presidency Council will appoint a Prime Minister) and approve the appointment of the Prime Minister and his/her selection of cabinet ministers.)

3. Draft Iraq's new constitution, which will be presented to the Iraqi people for their approval in a national referendum in October 2005

....... and 25% of the new National Assembly are women... in a region where women have highly restricted rights.

Can you feel the change coming?

How's the UN doing in the Congo again?

Well, G, guess you won't be seen in these threads anymore then, will you?

Time to just face it. UN "observation" just doesn't deter the bad guys. They understand ONE thing. If you're not prepared to do that, why bother to go at all?

That in a nutshell is why so many US folks see the UN as pointless. They're not prepared to do what's necessary but they go and do nothing.

Go figure.

There's a lot of different interpretation of Islamic law, just like the Bible.

Which interpretations do you think the women in the National Assembly will be likely to favor, the pro-woman or anti-woman?

And the strict Islamicists didn't win a majority as I'm sure you noticed.

Not bad for a first round.

Mr Toad.
What do you sugest UN would do? Kill all civilians in the area,bombing them or just tear their houses down?

Tough luck, in war chite happends, soldiers die. But it dosent mean you have to retaliate "nazistyle" against the civilians.

And I doubt you will see Swedish troops in Congo, again.

It's the general attitude that I referred to. People are are making extremely offensive remarks for reasons that I can only imagine being media induced unbased negativity.



You really have not read much of this forum over the last 4+ years have you?  The hate pouring in from across the pond makes it pretty easy to give back what your dishing out.  

Face it, its not a new thing for Euros to hate, hell they pretty much invented it.

The UN can't do anything.  They're worthless.

Crabbo, do you read English?

Quote me the part where I said the UN should make war on civilians.




Scholz.... I'm saying there's no point in what the UN tries to do. They might just as well send civilians, results would be unchanged. I believe that.
