    I don't believe he was being sarcastic frankly. And no, sarcasm is a national trait. We've had to get very good at it in order to insult Americans without getting them pissed off at us. Who knows, maybe our skills are so refined that we don't recognize it when someone is doing it badly.

        Since the discussion that was a response to was about US intervention, it's likely he was refering to Kosovo, where no mass graves have yet been found.

          Only because they were hauling the people into Serbia and disposing of them there. And is mass expulsion all that different from genocide? A little bit more humane, but not by much.

            I hope not, the UN sucks, and it has never really stopped a war anyway, which it was supposed to do, in fact it gave the gulf war it's blessing.... not the body of peace I thought it was supposed to be.

                The UN will survive because it will be more and more instrumental in postwar situations. Since the US will start more wars, this will be a very useful skill.
                Also, don't forget the UN has many tools useful to appreciate the international situation (if only, it issues international statistics), and plays a definitive role in humanitarian help.
                The Security Council will continue as before : it will confirm the decisions of the greatest power, or will be a place where equivalent big powers argue with each other.

                    So, the US start the mess and the UN clean it up?
                    That's what I call a clear responsibility assignment!

                    So the law of the stronger is still applied instead of reason and responsibility.

                      The UN will only survive if it makes a Secretary General out of Gorbachev. He has some great ideas for the UN!

                        Gorbachev?

                        What exactly are his ideas?

                        BTW, nice avatar!

                          Given the fact that I made no specific mention of Kosovo, I find that somewhat hard to believe.

                          Now could someone deal with the substance of the point I raised rather than irrelevent details.
