“Truth? You can't handle the truth!”

[The Legendary Shark]

The UN - a great concept rendered ineffective at best and dangerous at worst by bureaucracy and selfishness.

Wait... Are we talking about Gadaffi, here?

I wasn't. I was talking about Gaderffi

What is going on is the US/NATO/UN are just doing what they like

Fixed that for you.

The UN doesn't do anything. If Aliens invaded tomorrow*, the UN would probably take three months to decide that they should freeze all their assets. A pointless, impotent organization is what they are

*who's to say they're not already among us?

I was talking about Gadaffi.The UN are impotent as and when it suits them to be impotent which is the majority of the time as its a corrupt and criminal organisation which is obvious now that it doesnt abide by its own resolutions or international law and it launches a war or "kinetic military action" as they like to call it and uses civil unrest within Libya as a window of opportunity to do so.A sad side effect of it all was not allowing Libyan students abroad to continue their studies simply because their studying was subsidised by Gadaffi.

Bombing campaigns = Humanitarianism

Humanitarianism = Stealing billions that belongs to Libyans and then giving it way after imposing sanctions and freezing its assets.

Humanitarianism = Bombing civilian targets and using DU munitions and drone attacks.

Humanitarianism = The collapse of the Lbyan economy and manufacturing base and everything else.

War = Peace

The Fukushima earthquake and resulting nuclear catastrophe was the perfect opportunity for the UN to demonstrate that it has a purpose yet it has done   n o t h i n g   in response to that while at the same time that was unfolding it was launching military action against Libya.The UN have also been a complete and utter failure in Haiti.

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Ye forgot one there Mr. Wolf

Humanitarianism= Appointing people like Geri Haliwell as 'Goodwill Ambassadors', send them to impoverished countries to speak to the natives, and then broadcasting what the most insightful, politically aware and culturally sensitive member of the Spice Girls thinks about the whole frightful business of poverty

Possibly constructed by a race of giants?

I was going to type areology -neologism- but it looks too much like arseology.

It was constructed to stop coastal erosion @ about 20,000 BC using a material that was cast in hexagonal lengths and constructed in interlocking sections of varying height.
