HAS THE US STOPPED THE UN FROM ACTING IN SUDAN, IRAN, LEBANON, ETC?


[+] serious ballot by herzog
created Thu Sep 14, 06

Some users are making this claim, that we can't criticize the UN for failing to act because the US stops them from doing so.

Well I think I've kept pretty up to date on the big issues that the UN is criticized for: allowing genocide in the Sudan, Sending a trivial force to stop the fighting in lebanon, not stopping Iran from developing nukes, same thing but with North Korea, not stopping islamic terrorism, and so on. I think those are the biggest.

So what we're going to do now is for everyone who can to find a legitimate course of action that the UNSC was planning to pursue against any of those issues, that the US vetoed for no reason.

Nope, can't find any, the US didn't stop the UN from acting in those cases
Yes, and I will list them in detail along with a source below (most people who vote for this won't)

COMMENTS:
And BTW, legitimate courses of action excludes resolutions to the effect of "the genocide in sudan is bad I guess, but really what the jews are doing to the palestinians is worse, we hate the jews, death to Israel, allah akbar!!!!"

Well, in the case of Iran and Lebanon the have most certainly not stopped the UN from acting. See, economic interests of Russia and China in Sudan trump genocide. They also trump stopping a radical regime from developing nuclear weapons. The blame lays squarely at the feet of Russia and China. The UN also acted on Lebanon.

In fact, it is the US and Britain who have pushed most forcefully for action.

Looks like it's up to George Clooney to stop the genocide now...

"Some users are making this claim, that we can't criticize the UN for failing to act because the US stops them from doing so."

??? I haven't heard anyone suggest that.

"Well I think I've kept pretty up to date on the big issues that the UN is criticized for."

That's what they call an obsession. They do have medications for that.

This ballot is an bizarre exercise in pure neocon fantasy.

Nothing new here, folks.

Ha! As of right now 54% voted yes, and no one has listed a single instance of this occuring.
