UN Again Demonstrates Its Uselessness
The UN Secretary General says now isn’t the time to send a peacekeeping force to Somalia.
Mr Ban said the situation in Somalia was too risky and there was no peace to keep.
Of course even if there were, a UN force would do exactly what it has done elsewhere on the dark continent—nothing. UN “peacekeeping” forces have a proven track record of worthlessness all around the world. We wouldn’t really expect anything different in Somalia.
Of what use is an international organization like the UN when it shows such clear lack of spine and moral character? If the nations of the world were truly interested in peace they’d be willing to pony up the troops to not only keep real peace where it exists, but create it through force where it doesn’t. But, as we see, they aren’t.
What a useless body the UN continually proves itself to be. (And Obama wants us to give them more money. I just can’t wait for January 20.)
