The UN ought to be brought up on War Crimes. Hell, they could be charged with Ricco Statues also.

Er...isn't the chair of the UN Human Rights commission Libya? That is, the neighbor to the Sudanese horrors the UN can't seem to notice? Hmm?

No surprise here, this is why we aren't part of the ICC. You can't fight a war without some claim of "war crimes!"

And since we are the only ones willing to defend human rights and the only one's with the guts and military to do so.

I am sick of being hated and abused!

When oh when will we toss the UN out of New York, and get ourselves out of that "legalized" mafia cesspool?

Yet no mention of road side bombs blowing up people as "war crimes"...

Or sawing off civilian heads...

As long as Americans didn't do it, it isn't a war crime...

How convenient for the UN that the terrorists are nameless and nationless and cannot be sued... maybe they belong to the UN.

THis case is false on its face since the other party is not available for questioning in its role.

Never mind the UN running brothels for kidnapped preteens in Kosovo. That doesn't count.

ME stupid, I forgot these are ideology that could be better implemented, they are not cults hell bent on threatening and murdering people. We can sue nations but not the cults.

May I make a gentle suggestion to the United Nations on the proper proceedures they should now initiate?

Dear UN,
Despite the anatomic difficulties involved in the process, I believe you would do well to go f*** yourselves.

Perhaps such a declaration would move more Americans in the direction of abandoning and ejecting the stinkin UN.

Bring it on!

A group of degenerate, emasculated belgian and Dutch troops in powder-blue wouldn't last two blocks in any American city.

Let 'em try to arrest our people. Locals will steal the hub caps off their APC's while others pick their pockets and generally scare the h*ll out of them.

What a joke!

The UN should be indicted for its behavior in occupied lands.
The UN has traded the necessities of life for sexual favors from those embattled peoples.
The UN encourages child prostitution.
The UN condones and supports the sex slave trade in Bosnia and elsewhere.

Koffi should be imprisoned as head of the UN.
