For my education, could someone please list the top ten successes of the UN? If that is too hard, how about the great victories of the UN for the last ten years (any number will do)? Failing that, how about anything benefiting free and peaceful nations -- you know, like liberating Burma or stopping the slaughter in central Africa or saving the starving Somalies??

I can think of one, Korea.

I can think of one, Korea.

Possible only because Stalin had the USSR delegate walk out, rather than veto the Korea resolution. A mistake that was never made again.

"I can think of one, Korea."

Which one? The one where millions have died due to starvation or the one that has to watch its back for fear of an invasion?

The UN doesn't keep N. Koreans from starving. The US does that. If the US stops food shipments tomorrow, within a year N. Korea will give up its nukes and agree to true peace talks.
