#4 300,000 out of a 2.5 million population isn't genocide, it's mass murder, in this case to effect exactly the population movement that's taken place.

#5 If the UN is so goddamn concerned about it, how about they stop pissing and moaning and do something, like send forces of their own?

#6 No,No,No, BChoinski
you miss the whole purpose of the UN, it's to whine, be a nuisance, and do nothing, of any consequence.(no possible way to hold them responsible that way.)

#10 Y'all may be cynical, but I am confident that as long as the shrimp cocktails hold out, the UN will be conferencing its collective ass off about this problem.
