     I just don't have confidence in the UN to be able to do much. They
will go through the motions and try to make it look like they are doing
something. The members nations worry too much about their own agendas
to be able to act successfuly as a group. An example of that was the
UN's resolutions against Iraq. How many resolutions did the UN impose
upon Iraq? How many did the UN follow through on? In the search for WMD's
the UN repeatedly chastised Iraq for non-complience in that Iraq did not
provided an accurate, and complete disclosure, as required by resolution
687. Also that Iraq repeatedly obstructed immediate, unconditional, and
unrestricted access to sites designated by the United Nations as well as
the absence, in Iraq of international monitoring, inspection, and
verification, as required by the relevant resolutions. The Iraqi's clearly
did not cooperate with the UN but the UN also avoided doing anything when
Iraq didn't comply. Some ten years went by and what did the UN accomplish?
The UN is pretty much all bark and no bite.
