You mean NATO, right? The UN wasn't even involved prior to NATO involvement...

Broken link...

The human rights commission is a travesty, no question. However, you can't condemn the entire organization on the basis of one committee, in my opinion.

Not a single NATO country is contributing troops. What a joke...

Where was the U.S.?

So we should be meddling in these countries internal affairs when it is of no political or economical interest to the U.S.? I applaud you.

As long as China continues to protect North Korea in the Security Council, nothing will happen...

See my earlier line about the human rights commission.

That's a 2 and a half year old link. The country has since achieved independence, thanks to the UN (with most of the props going to Australia).

The UN doesn't have jurisdiction over these landmarks, how exactly were they supposed to save them? I could just as well argue that my Aunt Betsy failed to save the Buddhist statues...

The UN supports many relief and humanitarian missions in Africa. By the way, where is that money to fight AIDS in Africa that Bush promised in the state of the union? Probably the same place the Americorps funding is...

From your link: "vested interests by the western countries and India had deprived the Kashmiris of their rights".

Can you think of anything else "off the top of your head"?
