The only gutsy decision made by UN was to send troops to Korea after North Koreas invasion of the south. This only happened because the USSR made a stupid decision to boycott a meeting of the permanent members council. If the USSR had attended a veto by them would not have allowed the UN to send troops into Korea, and US would have had to go it alone. They are good at having meetings, passing resolutions, which they never enforce. The had troops in Africa watching the genocide going on and never interfered to stop it. However members eat well in New York. They break state and federal laws and cannot be prosecuted. The UN is as useless as teats on a boar hog. Oh yes and they are corrupt look at the food for oil program with Hussein
