Default The failure of the U.N.

Has the U.N. ever successfully achieved anything in regards to peace making? Any thoughts on how this institution can justify it's existence?

I used to have an article that talked of their many successes that was great-as it was in bullet format and very easy to read-but the bookmark is outdated now.

However, this isn't bad. Heck of a lot of successes there. When I think of the UN I think of a great quote that I once heard: "We tend to hear the boos and not the cheers."

I was forced -literally -to write about this very topic in a Political Science class my freshman year . I pointed out that the U.N. had tried to intercede between Greece and Turkey over Cyprus and had little to no effect -I think this still holds true .
During Kosovo intervention the U.N. was blasted by artillery -their Hdqtrs. at least -I don't think anyone takes them seriously .
a British commando , when told that he would have to fall back and leave his men behind , laughed at the CNN camera and said -''That will be a cold day in hell indeed .''

ban- the problem with that paper is it's written by a U.N. insider. I'll try to do some digging later.

Makes no difference if it's factual, which it is.

Trust me, I'm a fact man and won't put something out there that isn't accurate.

Doesn't seem to be what the facts show in the two articles.

Ban, how about I write an article and put facts the way I want to spin them. If they are in print does it mean it's the truth?

Come on and wake up and smell the coffee. The UN is a joke!!!
