The UN Oil-for-Food scandal

[Abcdxxxx]

Hold on.

Corruption has followed the UN in every word crisis situation they've had a major presence. They're ineffectual, whichI realize doesn't exactly equal guilt, but it does fall right in line with the accusations thrown at them. In other words, look at their actions, and what they've accomplished, and it's not too shocking to hear the negative stories surrounding the organization wherever they've been. It's really pathetic to hear people use the UN (or worse, when they talk abotu the need for an "impartial International body" as if the UN doesn't exist, as if putting them in the parts of the Middle East will stop injustice.

Darfur: they were there, they allowed it to build to the level it has. Gaza: They've been anything but impartial, aligning themselves with extremists who hurt the communities they claim to protect. Bosnia: they acted like gangsters, and added to the mess. Iraq: the money trail doesn't add up, and we know the food didn't go where it needed to, yet they continued the program.

How is that record worth defending?
