The UN just doesn't get it

Fire of Liberty

Kofi and the gang are refusing to classify the horrors in Darfur as genocide. Based on an article in The Financial Times, the UN released a report, that noted Janjaweed militia participated in massive killings and targeted a particular group of people to slaughter. Unfortunately, the people at Turtle Bay couldn't say the acts were genocide but said the militia had committed "serious violations of international...law".

Their solution, send the case to the International Criminal Court. As with everything at the UN, "kick-the-can" is their favorite game. Whether its Rwanda, Sudan (late 90's), Darfur, Srebenicia, Kosovo, or Iraq, they just kick the can down the road hoping the problem will fade away. Had the UN acted in these war-zones before these atrocities occurred, they wouldn't be passing it off the the crazy ICC.

Thank God for the US.
