Is the UN failing us?

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Weve been extremely critical in the past on our collective actions disregarding the UN's lax attitudes towards leaders and their governments which abused their people, used awful weapons against them, and has housed WMD.
So, here is the test unfortunately once again, where we see those who have preached peace and sanctions, and always armchair quarterbacking when have taken action, yet all the talk hasnt done a thing.
All the blame, fingerpointing etc etc on the US for taking such actions, those here and abroad, claiming too much monies spent on the military etc etc, yet no one else has stepped forwards here, not one of our allies, and those whom we disagree with, they too have finally made calls for this end of abuse, yet again, talk and sanctions are to be the way, yet again, nothing.
Is this mindset which fills the UN and much of the world a failure?
Is the UN a failure, at this point in a very needed action of aome type?

I think the UN is stuck between a rock and a bard place because of China and Russia.

Iran and Syria are problems that can't be dealt with at the same time ... that is the key issue.

The real question you should be asking is: "Does the UN have any big, brass Balls?"

The answer is no. Wilson would be rolling in his grave now.

I know he started the League, but the UN is modeled after it.
