UN pandering to these Islamic regimes absolutely makes them feel stronger (maybe even invincible).
Why we bother participating in a group of nations that consistently vetoes everything we stand for is beyond me (and that's not even bringing up 1) their inability to complete assigned tasks; and 2) the corruption within the UN. The food for oil scandal has been swept under the proverbial rug and the perpetrators of the scandal are apparently still running the store when resignations and reparations would have been a rational response. Sighing and shaking head in disbelief. No wonder the axis of evil countries have no respect for UN leadership and their requests.
"Why we bother participating in a group of nations that consistently vetoes everything we stand for is beyond me..."
DITTO that.
