Mondo...if i recall from my old history lessons, the UN was established to enable third world countries to have a voice in Global politics. Of course this is political, why else would it be a topic of discussion. Now, look at the history of the UN...it's a mess. In regard to Bosina, Haiti, Iraq, Samalia and others, what have they done...almost nothing.
You speak of infractions in an Iraq prision but you make no mention of the mass burial sites in Iraq.
What's wrong with Saddam being tried by the Iraqi people? Then lets talk about the INVASION of Kuwait and the people murdered there and the war the resulted. We Had more than ten years of so called inspection, courtesy of the UN.
Bringing things more up to date, let look at the oil for food program and the graft that resulted. This has long been suspected and the facts are just now coming to light. Yes, some American companies are implicated but they are a drop in the bucket compared to some other Multi-national companies and in fact many national leaders.
In your reference to the world court. why would we subject our leaders and military personnel to a world court? This is a world court made of world leaders (UN type) that won't honor their basic commitments from the begining....Curruption is a fact of life in that organization. You can't even begin to deny that.
Your reference to FDR and Winston Churchill are absolutly misdirected. Those leaders would turn over in their graves only because we've let the world become as blind as we've been. How can you make excuses for dictators like Saddam, Mikolivch or others? How about Genocide on massive scales all over the world.
How can you possilby exonerate, cite or look up to an organization like the UN. Clean it up and it might again become a valid global entity, but what you have now is a centalized source for graft and corruption.
