With Apologies to Edwin Starr

Well, if people oppose war and want peace, then why do so many put their faith in an organization that fails so miserably at achieving peace? Why has the United Nations had bases in Lebanon for 28 years for the purpose of achieving peace in that region without anyone noticing that something was not working?

The Great U.N. Delusion
Find another false idol to worship, multilateral fetishists -- the U.N. is a failure
By Jonah Goldberg, July 21, 2006

...it would be one thing if the U.N. actually, you know, worked. But the problem is that the history of the U.N. is a history of unrelenting failure. Oh, not in immunizing kids and feeding starving people. The U.N. gets a passing grade there, though certainly not an A.

No, the failure comes in precisely the arena that supposedly justifies the U.N.'s existence: global peace and security. And that's where the delusion comes in. The folks at United Nations Plaza have proved themselves to be either well-intentioned incompetents or cagey, crapulent kleptocrats.

The left is so quick to blame the U.S. for not achieving peace while they ignore the long-standing failures of their global god.
