Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Tom K]

Ironically, the UN and the Europeans have "diminished their global stature" by demonstrating their inability (or unwillingness) to EFFECTIVELY cope with murderous thugs and world threats.

Kosovo (couldn't succeed without U.S. $$$s and blood)
Iraq (sanctions fail...stick head in sand)
North Korea (appeasement failure episode 2, now let's make it a US problem)
Iran (Russia mettling, UN gets a big bark, but no bite)
Syria (let's blame Israel and stick heads in sand)
Sudan (what problem?)
