It makes me feel ashamed to call myself a Serb... and after seeing those videos, even more so

very unfortunate and very forgotten.. just like the Rwandan massacre. I hope people can take action when evil like this lurks in the corners.

My sisters boyfriends is serb.. he still needs "proof" that this happened.

Right. Not to forget this happened in a UN Camp.
Bosnian Serbs come to the gate and ask the UN if they can go in for some fun and the UN runs with its tail behind its legs basically rolling out the red carpet and welcoming them in.

At least in Rwanda they would stand their ground in their own freakin camps. Saying if you want to kill 1000 Tutsis, you have to kill 100 UN peacekeepers. Guess what? 1000 Tutsis were saved.

The stupidity to abide by political orders from above and not be able to stand your grand and defend it with your life to the death is jus idiotic.

how can comandres on the ground be so stupid?

Is it not worth it to be court-marshalled knowing you saved thousands for disobeying a dumb order?!



bah enough rant.
...
Another reason why I'm not a big fan of the UN.

Speaking of which, anyone know how Mr. Slovo is doing up in the Hague? Have they finally tried him... when the hell is that trial going to end?

The thing that pisses me off about people dissing the UN is they seem completely oblivious to what the UN actually is. Do you hate UNICEF? The World Health Organisation? People look at the UN and think its some kind of international army but its not. Peacekeeping is a very small part of what the UN does.

THE UN DOES NOT HAVE A ARMY

As for Sebrenica...you see in the article the UK, the US and the EU saying sorry for failing to prevent the massacre. THEY ARE THE UN. The UN is its members. When you say the "UN did nothing in Rwanda" you mean the UK did nothing, or the French did nothing, or the Americans did nothing. Nobody likes to do peacekeeping missions cos they dont fit in with national interests very well. America was loath to become involved in UN peacekeeping missions since Somalia. They entered the Balkans cos the EU didn't know its arse from its elbow and no matter how much the US doesnt get on with the EU, Europe's security is important to America, so it gets involved. They were the UN in that conflict and they were the ones that let this happen - thats what they are saying now.

Today, the UN is merely a scape goat for everyone fucking else to blame for "not doing anything" when the UN = the world

When nobody lifts a finger to help people around the world dont look to the UN to blame look at your own government and ask what the fuck are they doing? Did they offer troops to the UN?

Nice rant.

Apparently you are unfimiliar with the story of Srebrenica:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre

Basic plot: UN creates safe zone.
UN takes away power from the military leaders on the ground (no airstrikes, going out of safe haven, etc).
UN makes promises it can not keep (gaurding a town of thousands with 650 men surronded by thousands of soldiers yet garunteeing protection).
Bosnians attack Serbs out of safe zone. Serbs come into safe zone, UN doesn't put up a fight but surrenders and lets 1000s of Bosnians be slaughtered instead.


Also note the USA was not involved in the Baltics at this time. It did not commit forces to fight for the UN.

So why blame the UN? Why not blame the US for not doing enuf? Why not blame the EU? They were Dutch soldiers so why not blame Holland?

I dunno, maybe you dont like the UN cos you're from Israel? But it just pisses me off when people use the UN as a scape goat cos nobody did anything. The EU and US have both proved they do not need UN resolutions to engage in conflicts, yet when the genocide in Rwanda occured who got the blame? The UN did. And whats more, the people fingering the blame are Americans or Europeans!

Sometimes I just think we created the UN to clear our conscience for not lifting a finger to help people that need it. Nobody gave a shit when the Jews were being killed and nobody gives a shit today when similar things happen. The only difference is now we have the UN to blame for not doing anything or enuf...

I never blame the nations that don't do nothing. When you enter into world politics you can't do anything half-assed. You either do it, or don't do it. The dangers of doing ti half-assed are much greater than not doing anything. Thats why I blame the UN in this case and in Rwanda.

You either offer protection and provide the forces and ability for commanders on the ground to offer protection or you don't, there is no middle (as both cases have clearly demonstrated).

Thats not the reason, but defintely studying Israel's and the UN fucked up history together one can easily conclude the UN is fucked up.

Rwanda was the mess of the Belgiums, I blame them first, the UN second. The USA was right not to enter that colonial outbreak.
If the Belgiums, perhaps the nation with the greatest interest of all western nations left after 4-8 of their soldiers were killed what were other nations to do? After setting such a precedent (kill 8 soldiers we leave) the UN mission was doomed to failure.

All I am saying the UN should be what it is and no more. Don't pretend to be a peacekeeping organization. Don't pretend to be neutral. Don't pretend to be serving justice and the betterment of humanity. A UN has its palce, but it has over stepped its bounds and thousands have died as a consequence.

FFS Yoepus, the UN doesn't have ANY forces. What part of that do you not understand???

Oh the mighty Belgium! Fuck me if even Belgium cannot sucessfully complete a peacekeeping operation what chance do the loley Americans or British or dare I say the Israelis have of succeding?

You think these people dies BECAUSE the UN got involved?!

Its a sorry state of affairs when people around the world are being slaughtered and altho people realise this is a bad thing, all they are concerned about is having someone else to blame. The UK has the power to make a difference, so does America, so does Israel or France, but none of them want to (ok so they do on occasions when it suits them but..) What can the UN do when the major military powers do not want to become involved? Get blamed by the powers that refuse to become involved, thats what they do
