#1 "Both sides are looking for a military victory. Each one of them I think still believes that military victory is possible for their side; therefore, the intensity of the fighting is increasing and expanding."

A UN guy actually gets something exactly right. It is the corollary to the 'Peace through superior firepower' theorem. Peace is what happens when both sides KNOW who will win, war is when one is in doubt.

#2 The UN forgets that war is diplomacy by other means.

Of course this bunch of sissies don't want to arm the rebels. Send in a blizzard of sternly worded letters and have a full and frank exchange of ideas and the shooting will stop...stop until they finish reading all the letters...

The UN has dithered and fiddled around with nuclear weapons and chemical weapons and not done one thing to really back up what they are saying.

The US could have put an end to that crap 20 years ago but we've surrendered our nonproliferation stance to the UN and we have Iran and Korea ready to light one up any time now.

Thanks UN, the first US city to disappear or the first US city to be evacuated because of nuclear terrorism should be our letter of resignation from this useless bunch of diplomatic parasites.
