WHAT has the United Nations done to oust Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's head of state?
WHAT meaningful steps has it taken to ease the financial and other pressures off of the people of Zimbabwe? How has it put pressure on Mugabe to work with Opposition Leader Morgan Tzvengari?
WHAT leadership role has it assumed?
I'm always perplexed at the respect most people have for the United Nations.
We look at Zimbabwe, Darfur, Kim Jong Il, Ahmedinijad (who it hosts each year for a maniacal speech) and see no meaningful steps taken by the institution to improve the lot of displaced and otherwise victimized citizens across the globe.
It provides NO leadership, has no moral authority and is a safe haven to unethical megalomaniacs who wish only to line their pocketbooks; it's wrought with corruption and waste.
Zimbabwe, just days after introducing a $100M bill, is now introducing a $200M bill. Inflation is stratospheric. People are starving. Its government-sharing agreement has been all but obliterated. Its hospitals are errily empty, not for a lack of sick but for a lack of professionals and equipment to attend to the sick.
And yet the United Nations persists in its impotence.
Shame.
God bless this finest among nations.
