So hows that situation in Sudan going? Be a shame if another Rwanda happened....

Good think the UN regularly takes pro-active steps in the face of injustice. Why don't you ask the Iraqi's how well those sanctions helped their plight.

How'd that Somalia incident ever end up?

Yugoslavia? I seem to remember something about some genocide there, I'm sure the admirable Kofi stepped up to bat there.

Outside of Somalia, Rwanda, and Sudan, I seem to remember hearing something about some "conflict diamonds", I'm sure the UN stepped in though.

The UN is what we make it; It's merely a tool. Where was the the US led resolution to call the situation in Sudan genocide months ago so that the UN would be required to do something (by mandate)? Where was it when Rwanda dealt with it?
