Ok I shan´t defend the UN, it surely has it´s problems, but it is in my opinion no regime but an organ for cooperation between independent nation states.

UN is far from perfect (insert Churchill quote here) but I would not go as far as to call it evil.

What term would you prefer? The terms "broken", "corrupt" and "irrevelant" come to my mind. We have an organization that allows one of the worst human rights abusers, Sudan, to have a seat on the U.N. human rights panel. When an organized entity is so inept or corrupt (take your pick) as to allow one of the worst criminals to be on a panel judging other criminals, that is so wrong as to be evil.

I noticed you are "new" to the FR. For the past two days, you and your fellow comrades attempted to convince us there is no WMD in Iraq. Knowing that one teaspoon of sarin can kill a man in 15 minutes or less, I'd say 5 litres of sarin has proven you're a horse's arse. Go peddle you HS on Moveon.org Ollie. Sarin could end up in Oslo and effect your loved ones by your friendly neighborhood islamofascist. Wake up!

By Liza Porteus FOXNEWS

NEW YORK — Tests of the artillery shell that detonated in Iraq on Saturday have confirmed that it did in fact contain an estimated three or four liters of the deadly sarin (search) nerve agent, Defense officials told Fox News Tuesday.

The artillery shell was left as a roadside bomb, the U.S. military said Monday. Two U.S. soldiers were treated for minor exposure to the nerve agent when the 155-mm shell exploded before it could be rendered inoperable.

The soldiers displayed "classic" symptoms of sarin exposure — most notably dilated pupils and nausea, officials said. The symptoms ran their course fairly quickly, however, and as of Tuesday, the two had returned to duty.
