IMO, the UN is a great idea. The problem is whenever their forces are sent in, the operation is ineffective. So how can this be fixed?

Well, not ignoring pleas from UN observers asking to be evacuated because they're going to be slaughtered might be a start.

I thought they were UN military observers. But that doesn't matter. Having the UN ignore it's own people's pleas to evacuate because their lives was at risk and they had no way to defend themselves was wrong.Originally posted by DinoDoc

Well, when I suggest sending the UN to do an operation, people always say, "The UN fighting forces are ineffective." So this is their chance to say what should be changed about them."The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society.

Rebuild the UN from the ground up.
Unfortunately, we're probably stuck with this well-intentioned but badly executed UN for a long time....you can't have effective UN forces with a crippled organization behind them.DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTISComment
