    Problem with the UN is it not really independent and also powerless if the big boys don't want to play ball. And even when they do, as they all want something slightly different it normally ends up hamstringing itself trying to keep them all happy

    Untill it has the power to punish even it's veto members it is a waste of space

      Shall we try the league of nations model again?

      Why should the weak be able to punish the powerful?
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            New World Order anybody ?

            For all the faults of the UN, nothing can surpass the spectacular failure, at every level ,of the Bush-Blair Axis of Aggression as it flounders in the the sands of the Middle East.

            Didnt Galloway mention Iraq would be a quagmire ... he did recieve a lot of derision for saying that at the time - but now - who would dare argue with that ?

                  And that reveals exactly why Darfur raises such little concern.

                  Alf and Churchill cannot make their snide remarks against the Americans or Blair, as neither can be blamed for the problems in darfur.
                  These two are our "feeling guilty, lets give the Americans and Blair a kicking" whipping boys.

                  Much the same as why we feel that we can intervene and "do something" about obesity, yet "do nothing" about the breakdown of the family, as Daniel Finklestein argues so eloquently in the Times today.

                    I would mostly close it down and replace it with something along the lines of the employment arbitration service to help sort out problems only between those actually willing to do so. If there is no wilingness by those involved, any imposition from the outside is usually doomed to failure.

                      Alfred also posts on libertyforum.org! The forum where he feels most at home

                      But what they dont realise is that its the eskimo's everyone should be afraid of. Them and the pengiuns! Their eyes are too close together and they smell of cabbages!
