The U.N. Our Saviour!:
So what's the problem with world government, aside from bankrupt morality and the bypass of the democratic rights of the people? Many people would tell you how wonderful it is to have the United Nations intervening on our behalf, believing that the U.N. is some sort of saviour - protecting us all from the injustices of the world. But, has the United Nations been effective in solving problems, or, through its meddling, do problems actually become worse?
People roasting on an open fire... Jack Frost sniping at your toes...:
(Information for the below taken from: the London Telegraph, June 24, 1997):
The Somali people suffered greatly under so called "U.N" protection. In fact, two Belgian paratroopers were photographed, "roasting a Somali boy over a flaming brazier". These two men were expected to be jailed for only a month and be fined 200 pounds after admitting the atrocity in a military court in Brussels, at the time of the article. While the two men had faced up to a year in jail, the prosecuters demanded only a month sentence. Ironically, this incident occurred during a U.N. "Restore Hope" mission.
Another man, Seargent Dirk Nassel, was accused of forcing a young Somali to eat pork, drink salt water, and then eat his own vomit... Yet another soldier was brought to trial in the suspected murder of a Somali boy whom he was earlier photographed urinating on.
The death of yet another child was under investigation, as, according to 2 former paratroopers, the boy, who had been caught trying to steal food, had died after being locked in a container for some 48 hours. |
