More UN horror…

leave a comment »

Every year we hear about UN  peacekeepers abusing  the very people they are supposed to be protecting.   Every year the UN Secretary-General issues a statement decrying the unfortunate situation,  which is more than we’ve heard from Obama’s current UN Ambassador,  Samantha Power.    What never happens is retribution for the abusers,  who seem to think that tossing a few dollars at the girls they’ve raped makes their actions acceptable.

I bow to no one in my disdain for the United Nations.   Why is no one there smart enough to charge the commanding officers of the rapists with dereliction of duty or something else sufficient to ruin their careers?   That might well have a salutatory effect on their ability to command their troops.  Actually,  why don’t we just defund the UN and send all the corrupt ninnies home?

Being the United Nations…

means  never having to  say you’re sorry,  much less accept culpability for a cholera outbreak you certainly caused,  and which has killed almost 8,000 Haitians.

United Nations diseased…

The United Nations produces misery in many places,  and is now  apparently spreading  terrible disease as part of it.
