It is quite frustrating to deal with this kind of government. Their people are in need and they don't give damn about it.
I like "wyojake" 's suggestion -- UN should be made into elite capable multi-national military forces that decide and dictate course of actions to be taken for the goodness of humans of all nations.

Why not helicopter in some Russian pimps. They can pick out the hottest chicks and rescue them.
The gals can work off the cost by dancing in one of the upscale clubs or by servicing our political leaders like Eliot Spitzer and David "Who Turned the Lights Out" Patterson, the deaf, dumb and blind governor of NY.

Maybe we should be threatening the government with UN troops to ensure delivery. These people need to go.

Most countries laugh at UN "troops". They are mainly passive by standers.
The UN doesn't give their troops any teeth.
For instance. Hezbollah was under orders from the UN to not rearm, and they sent in thousands of "troops" to enforce the resolution. We all see how that has worked the last few days.

Point about giving them some balls. Ever wonder why the UN is so ineffective and stands by watching? Serving like a barricade waiting to be fired on? Think about it. If we aren't going to support it - it doesn't exist. Maybe should be a national referendum in the US about our continued membership. Maybe we should undo all the treaties we have ever signed that are no longer meaningful, NATO for example. Maybe we should act alone in pre-emptive strikes against another nation and violate all the rules of world order to save its people.(Hmmm...think we did that already - maybe not a good idea all the time - nations might get the wrong impression.)If the UN is nothing more than an international Red Cross - get out of it. We can give the aid to those we deem worthy of it. And deny it to those in need but controlled by antagonistic governments - those poor people can die. Guess compassion is no longer backed with fortitude and resolve. Guess the smallest and poorest nations no longer count equally in the world's make-up. How far backward we have gone. Better build a fire in front of the cave before turning in.

Seriously? I know why the UN is ineffective. It's called human nature. Every country represented in the UN is going to do what is in their best interest INCLUDING the US.
I know that you were being sarcastic, but I think alot of people would agree that the US should pull out of the UN.
The rest of your post is just a rehash of crap that is all over these forums.
Except for one thing. Organizations like NATO are successful. World security would be better served if there were more of them.
