"UN body to probe abuses in Darfur"
Abuses? I guess you could describe mass-murder, rape-as-policy, and very large scale ethnic cleansing as 'abuses'. You might be tempted to if it was your responsibility to stop said murder, rape etc. and you had done absolutely bugger all. In a hilarious piece of misdirection, Kofi Annan spent his last few hours in post haranguing the US for being such a go-it-alone rogue state. He sadly ran out of time, so his words of condemnation for Sudan in their racist and incoherent war on their own population (Arab vs Black African) never got an airing.
Answer me this: how many Darfurian lives will this probe save? If the probe finds out anything we don't know (EXTREMELY UNLIKELY), what will the UN do? Ask the African Union to send another 35 badly armed blokes in a rickety bedford 2-ton? Fantastic. Lets face it. The UN is not fit for purpose. In Lebanon it facilitates the re-arming of Hezbollah. In Iraq it supports the insurgents sponsors. In Sudan it does absolutely nothing that might stop the massacring.
Its time to disband the UN. The League of Nations was dissolved when it did zilch to stop the rise of fascism in Europe. What will be the final blow for the hectoring tyrants club that is the UN?
