Nice article on the failing UN. And for those of you that can't read, it mentions the 12 plus years of Resolutions against Iraq and how the Resolutions did NOTHING.
For that matter, the UN did NOTHING. All that group of fools can do is write Resolution after Resolution. They are unable to enforce them without the United States of America. Don't forget that... The UN and France and Germany can say what they want, but when it comes to action, only us cowboys can take care of things.

Excerpt:
After reading several of the resolutions, you might possibly come to the conclusion that I did. Hey, why are they passing all of these resolutions anyway? After about 12 years of resolutions, most reaffirming previous resolutions, you would expect a rational person to conclude that these resolutions are no more than words on paper. Very similar to any treaty that is signed between countries. Nothing but tricky words on paper.
Hopefully, you will recognize that resolutions, like treaties, are between countries that have agreed to certain things written upon the paper comprising the resolution or treaty. The resolution or treaty is just the guide or roadmap of expected, agreed to, behavior. Herein lies the current problem.
Just like the failed League of Nations of the 1920's and 1930's, the current United Nations will become, and quite possibly already has achieved to be, nothing more than a large group of men and women writing many worthless pieces of paper. The lack of enforcement of today's UN Resolutions, makes the diplomatic negotiations and tomorrow's UN Resolutions even more meaningless. Thus what we have here is a meaningless, worthless, expensive United Nations that has failed miserably to live up to its expectations for humanity.
