Let me get this straight -- The UN can kill, bomb, plot and maim; but anyone defending themselves from UN "activity" is a war criminal?

Easy solution to this 'problem', not that anyone will undertake it, of course.

Simply acknowledge formally what has been factually true for 30-odd years: the presence of U.N. personnel in any war zone itself constitutes a war crime, in that more and more people will be killed simply BECAUSE of their presence, and, as a contributing factor, their incompetence and lack of touch w/reality.

Not holding my breath waiting for this empirically accurate viewpoint to gain wide currency.

Yes, you've got it straight. This is what is so troubling about the International Criminal Court. What so many people don't understand. Glad that Bush backed out of it. But how long will the U.S. be out of it in the future.
