If we found a use for the U.N., wouldn’t that be one of the greatest accomplishments of the 21st century?
Here’s my idea: If we don’t like a country, we send our military to blow it to hell. Then we leave and we tell the U.N. to establish a democracy there or peacekeep or whatever.
I know what you’re thinking. “Won’t the U.N. do a horrible job… or nothing at all?”
Probably, but here’s the thing: We’ll just not care. The point is that, when people ask whether we’re going to help a country rebuild after we attacked it, we say we sent the U.N. That sounds responsible, and thus we avoid criticism.
So what happens when the U.N. fails and the country we attacked because even more volatile a threat? It’s simple: We blow it to hell again. You can’t overestimate how great our military is at blowing crap up. As long as we keep our military focused solely on blowing lots of crap up, it will be smooth sailing for us in foreign affairs. And once other countries understand that, maybe they’ll try and establish peaceful governments without our help out of fear of us getting bored and blowing them to hell. Then the U.N. become more of an association of countries trying all they can not to get mauled by the U.S. That sounds more useful than… whatever it is it’s supposed to be doing now.
Can we throw them out of New York too? God damn those buildings would make a nice hotel…
You’re in the ZONE today Frank.

Definitely agree with not making the military play politician or policeman in foreign countries.
I think the UN bureaucrats are losing touch with the masses, being headquartered in NYC and all. They should be closer to the folks they allegedly represent.
I’m thinking Gaza City. The UN types are big supporters of the palestinian arabs, and heaven knows the folks there can use a little boost to the local economy…
We need to export them to Iran. They could build a new complex directly over the centrifuges Pres. Imanutjob has going 24/7.
Then we can rid ourselves of two groups of rats with one bomb.
Hey, you don’t suppose the DemoCRAPic Party would want to move their convention next year to Tehran, do you? All of those MSM broadcasters and the mouthiest DemoCRAPS at the same time. Something to consider…
The UN has already proven useful. The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) basically saved the world from a terrible SARS outbreak. The discoverer of the disease, WHO’s Dr. Carlo Urbani, gave his life for us. The disease killed him but he got the message out that SARS had the potential to become an epidemic. There’s a real hero for you Aquaman. And there is one use for the UN for you Frank.
Problem is: other countries could just as likely come together to bomb us. The Fifth Column Party will help them.
We’d need an advanced computer able to coordinate multiple warheads to attack simultaneously such that those countries could not work together. I like the name Skynet for it myself.
Just make our dues match those of say…Bangladesh, and make them pay us for anything they do on our soil.
It is an absurdity that commies and jihadis hold any sway there, so it should be treated as irrelevant.
Sarcasm Man is right. The WHO does some good work — disease prevention, finally removing the de facto ban on DDT, encouraging breastfeeding (seriously, this could save several million lives in the Philippines alone), a host of other reasonable positions. So that’s like 1 out of a few dozen UN agencies that does anything worth a shit. I don’t know about your school, but when I was in college, a single-digit success percentage was definitely a failing grade.
I like the way you think.
