First, I am not so sure the Olympics should be held in China. But that’s another debate.
The idea that the United Nations should mount a military campaign to overthrow the government, however despicable it is, is insane.
The UN cannot run almost any of its current programs w/o all sorts of corruption & ineptitude. Giving them guns would be tantamount to suicide.
The UN having access to a standing army is a frightening thought. The UN having power to intervene in any nations affairs is just as frightening. The UN has NO moral authority and to assign ANY moral authority to the likes of Hollywood is pathetic.(Think Brittany&Lindsey)
The people of that nation must be the one’s to decide to put a stop to the tactics of their leaders. So long as other nations &/or groups are not involved in enabling the govt, let the people decide.
Calls for UN intervention really mean, Americans should go fight this fight, because
“we” think this is a “good war.” The wars America fights are “bad” wars. Because America is a “bad” nation full of “bad” capitalists.
But when we can get America to spend its blood & treasure for wars “we” think are right, that’s OK!
Pressure China & the Burmese govt will open up enough to let in aid. Otherwise, mind your own business!
