Its rather like fun without the f;
un... or perhaps
ummmmmm would be more appropriate. If this organisation hasn't become more of joke than the Detroit Lions I don't know what is. It has become a completely inept, bloated, and toothless organisation. Iraq first showed its ineptness by kicking out the nuclear inspectors; and what happened? Some sanctions on oil and food, I can tell you who didn't suffer there; Saddam and any of his cronies. No, it fell to the common folk trying to scrape by a living under a brutal dictator. Then the United States decided to invade against the UN and showed its ineptness when it just steamrollered in anyway. What happened to the US? Oh
that's right nothing, no sanctions, no military action, no support for the sanctity of the country of Iraq, nothing.
Darfur is a humanitarian disaster of epic scale and again nothing. So then Russia goes and invades Georgia, and nothing happens either. And now we expect the UN to come up with a ceasefire in Gaza? Are we delusional? Really? Both
Isreal and
Hamas have
disregarded the
ceasefire as not valid so whats the point? Honestly...
The UN is a pawn of who pays to sponsor it, essentially the United States and the EU, Russia, China, Japan. The African nations get to participate on a rotating basis like they are 'special' and should get to sit at the big boy and girl table. And it comes down to what's best for me, 'Oh they give me oil' or 'I sell them
' and these nations are NOT going to bite the hand that feeds them for the sake of some bureaucratic dinosaur. The US constantly lobbies for more sanctions on Iran, as we flaunt UN inaction elsewhere against us. Oh and what country constantly has sanctions proposed against it by some other nations? That would be Israel, but I'm sure that those sanctins are normally for very righteous reasons, not trumped up, and not at all a microcosm of what a joke the UN is.
Its time for a real change, the world is now flat, and it needs real action from a UN type organisation, but not from one that is as sluggish and outdated as the one we have now. Lives of the citizens; never those at the top are very much in jeopardy.

3 years and I think the Lions could actually become really competitive, with as many great young players as they have drafted the last couple years. Their WR core is maybe the best young core in football, outside of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. If they can draft a real good quarterback with their No. 1 pick this year (would Tim Tebow go that high - where is he projected at the NFL level?), and continue to build on defense, I think they've got a real shot. Hopefully they can bring in a top GM and coaching staff, and with the No. 1 pick coming up, I think that's a real good chance. Watch out NFC North!
However, the UN is another story... 3 years aren't going to fix the issues there. The UN has lost so much credibility, and has so little unity and power, that it is very ineffective and HORRIBLY inefficient because of how large a beurocracy it has become...
