My favorite line:

Not every Security Council demand brought the desired result.

Marie Okabe, a spokeswoman in the U.N. press office, said the organization doesn't compile a list of resolution violators because of that ambiguity.

Perhaps, that is an omission to "help" themselves feel better about all their good work? It's clear: the UN is IRRELEVANT!

BTW, a good link re: UN Resolution mentioned by the Arabs... ...THE STANCE OF SYRIA AND OTHER ARAB STATES ON 242

< snip >

Syria rejected UNSC Resolution 242 because it did not require Israel to withdraw to the 1949/1967 cease fire Lines. Syria was joined by the other Arab States, claiming that the 1949/1967 Lines were not final borders.

On Limbaugh's show, Thursday or Friday...a guy calls in, probable seminar caller (a different guy used the same main line of argument and phrasing on Charles Sykes' show on 620 in Milwaukee earlier in the day) and first asks why we aren't ready to send kids to die to bring down the ChiComs. After all, they're sooooo much more destructive and evil than Saddam, right? And why, the caller asks, are we making noises like we're going to do this without the Security Council's approval, while claiming to stand up for the U.N.? Then he starts listing all these Security Council resolutions that other countries are in violation of, mainly Israel, of course: They supposedly have ignored 70 resolutions over the years. Rush lets him rant about it for a bit, then says, "Thank you. You just made my point for me, that the United Nations is one of the least effective organizations on Earth. Everybody ignores them until America agrees with them and backs it up with force.<"P> Very effective radio. Heh heh.
