UN Observers

In response to the genocide in Darfur, the U.N. sent observers. Who stood around and observed the genocide. Prior to the war Israel had with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the U.N. had put in place observers. Who stood around and observed Hezbollah kidnap Israeli soldiers. In response to the genocide in Rwanda, the U.N. sent observers. Who stood around and observed the genocide. Of what use is the U.N. if its response to problems around the world -- particularly genocide -- is to send in U.N. troops to observe, to watch it happen? Is it just to have more witnesses? And for what? The U.N. is not going to bring anyone in Sudan to trial. No one in Rwanda was really held responsible. If the only purpose of the U.N. is to observe one group slaughter another while allowing countries like Syria to be on the Human Rights Council (the only ones who should be allowed on the human rights council are the top dozen countries with the best records of protecting human rights -- and if the U.S. finds itself not allowed on the Council, then we should try to do something about our police, too many of whom increasingly abuse their power), if the U.N. is not going to protect people around the world, what on earth is it for? So we can have governmental corruption at an international scale?
