The Real UN Mandate

Mary Madigan is guest blogging for Michael Totten while he is in Lebanon (blogging on Spirit of America).
While talking about the UN she makes this interesting evaluation of the world body.

The question is, what are the core priorities of the UN? Cain believes that saving lives and preventing genocides are core priorities, but if that were true, Annan would have been fired a long time ago. In fact, preserving peace and stability is the UN’s goal. The tolerance of genocidal regimes and the massive casualties that result is in line with that goal. If ensuring worldwide stability and preventing or avoiding involvement in any military action against a sovereign nation requires a passive capitulation to evil, Kofi Annan is more than willing to passively capitulate. He’s doing the job he’s being paid to do - as will the person who replaces him.

If that's true then I am fully, 100%, on board to oppose US involvement in that body until such time as it reforms itself. Severely reforms itself.
Kofi made a speech this week vocalizing his intent to reform the Human Rights Commission, which is great. He actually said that there should be standards when determining who could be on the commission, which has been the main problem with it all along. I'll believe it when I see it, though. It's not just the Human Rights Commission anyway.
