The UN is a useless debating society, bent on doing nothing.

Worked pretty well at getting Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991.

And came to the aid of South Korea in 1950.

Not to mention the eradication of smallpox, the polio eradication
efforts, all the good work done by UNICEF and the other UN agencies.
Since I have friends working in various parts of the UN, it's rather
irritating to hear so many people ignorantly assuming the UNSC is the
whole of the UN work, rather than a small fraction.
