OK, if ensuring that people live in a world full of justice, rights, and protection, isn't the the job of the UN, then who should do it? Or is it a case of tough titties for them? |

but I know that if I, in this country, was ever put into the position like the Iraqis were in 1990, then I wouldn't give a s**t who helped me, so long as someone did. I wouldn't expect everyone to just say "tough" and turn their backs. That's indecent.

And I wish the world was as simple (or simplistic) as you'd like it to be. Regrettably it's not.
Yes, things should change, but *not* at the point of a gun, not even if it's under the direction of the UN.
