Four UN observers were killed in Lebanon, after making 10 calls to the Israeli commanders, stating that the bombing was getting very close to their location.
Hmmm.
Considering this administration and its allies obvious contempt for the UN, I have to say that it appears deliberate.
Ten calls?
That can be documented, easily.
How many calls does it take, anyway?
And what's the real possibility that Annan's request for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of these observors will actually be followed up.
I'm sick to death of these people bashing the UN.
What's the point?
People on the outside, who have never truly understood the inner workings of this organization are so quick to point out the problems it has had, the scandals, etc. Look to our own administration and our own government's corruption. That's just one country's inability to stay clean. Now step back and look at the whole picture. So easy to judge, isn't it?
I have to admit, I get furious at those that continuously swipe at a great idea, pointing out the shortcomings, the failings.
Enough!
What they would prefer to have is the biggest, most powerful countries running everything, crapping all over everyone else.
I support the UN.
I support anything that tries to level the playing field and include everyone. Everything has its flaws. Take a look at the good that it has done. Admit that any organization that is constantly bludgeoned by the strongest members, constantly usurped by the most powerful seats, is bound to be handicapped.
