Say Anything Blog

Hullo hotel. I don’t actually have anything about the UN to say right now. I am just a bit stressed by all this “pathetic failure” stuff, and it bothers me to encounter bad feeling like this. I’m not a bad guy, and probably you’re not either! I come to this blog to hear opinions which are not heard so often in Europe. I am not a slacker or a sponger, a coward, lefty or “mental midget”. I’m just unsure about lots of things. But that’s not so bad. And a pathetic failure? A little unkind, if you meant it seriously. If you did, I would love to hear what your criteria are. Will you oblige?!

calm down,

Actually, a number of the criticisms of the UN to which you refer were mine, although I’m reasonably sure that others such as 2H9 share my opinion of that miserably failed organization.

And as much as that assessment may pain you, it happens to be the truth, for there is little about the United Nations that has proven worthy.  In no other endeavor that I can think of does intention count more than results, as is the case with the international “do good” industry in general and the United Nations in particular.

Consider for yourself, what has the United Nations actually accomplished, what tangible success has it enjoyed?  Which UN related organization or entity has done what it was supposed to, and done so successfully?  And which has not been tainted with scandal, corruption, fraud or sexual abuse of one sort or another?
