They are brave people misson. Very brave to put yourself in harms way for others. I applaud them all.

Like Somalia was a better place after the US pulled out and turned it over to the UN. The UN is one of the most corrupt organizations there is. Like the UN asking Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe, accused of ethnic cleansing and bankrupting his country, to champion tourism. My country, Canada formalised its withdrawal from the UN tourism body after that fiasco. and it goes on and on and on.

Many of the Peacemakers are to be commended, but they actually do very little. Look into Rwanda and read what Canadian General Roméo Dallaire (the Force Commander of UNAMIR, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda) has to say about the UN in his book......

[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women's Rights[/h]
NEW YORK — Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged "immodest.

I do not know about who is friends with whom. it is not my intention to offend anyone. I apologize if I did.
 
Guys this is not going anywhere. You are all entitled to have your opion on everything even about politics. But please share those over a beer in a place suitable and not here.

The UN is a large body and perhaps not that effective, like many other large bodies aren't very effective. As its name says these are the United nations. This includes those who are with you but also those who are not with you and even those who are against you. Please realise: When the UN is a failure, it is your country's failure as well, as your country is part of it.

Please behave as mature and reasonable people and discuss things in a civilised way, otherwise I will be forced to close this thread.

Huub
 
Generally, I see the UN as a larger, and somehow less competent version of the US Congress.

I shudder to think what will happen when there actually is a Federation of Planets...:icon_eek:
 
they may not be "effective" in terms of going in with a mass amount of weapons, shooting everything that doesn't agree with their views, then telling everyone left to behave or they'll do it again. But they do do some valuable work that others cant or just simple wont do. But as always, its the bad stuff that gets the most attention as it sells papers.

Also they've been far more effective than the league of nations was ;)
 
Yes Close this thread..Please...Last time I had anything to do with the UN was The Koren War...It Was The UNs War...Pres Truman did not declare that War...The UN did..Pres. Truman Bypassed The Congress. President Truman’s actions involving the United Nations represented a major break with precedent. Korea became the first major American war with a foreign power in which Congress did not declare war. Truman’s actions set major precedents virtually assuring American involvement in major conflicts for the next century. Thus Needing no Approval before allowing Kids to get Killed . ..There is a beautiful Statue there,I lived near the UN,,Seen it Built...A Russian Work of art..It Declares. In stone [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] "Let Us Beat Swords into Plowshares" and was a gift from the then Soviet Union presented in 1959[/FONT]....What Hypocrisy.As witnessed by the Cold war,and one Button Push away from destruction of the human race...As a matter of Policy.Any and All Politics,as well as religion should be monitored ,and Carefully before Being allowed on a Flight Sim Forum,and a Great Site.!..For Its Here One can prsue Our Walter Mitty Dreams.Ever so briefly,.and not be involved in the Potential Horror of Today's world...Vin!
 
I was surprised to see that this thread had not been locked yet, so I just wanted to drop in and say hi. :wavey:
 
No matter what our corporate opinion of the UN is, the servicemen from the various countries that support the peacekeeping mission are all to be thanked and congratulated. They operate extra-political and do the jobs that they are assigned to do without question.

I have seen soldiers from much of South America, South Asia and Europe at places most of us would not go to and they do a thankless job for often unthankful residents.

So Mission, I don't think that you offended anyone as your "soldados" from Uruguay have always been on the front line of support for some very needy people.
