Effective helping 3rd world countries Cmon you must be kidding. Most help to these countries are from aid agencies The Un failed in Korea somalia Zimbabwe Yugoslavia Rawanda, did nothing when suddam slaughtered thousands of Kurds, just to name a few. The Un in my opinion is a big bluff if the "BADDIES" call their bluff they are almost powerless. Never have they said if you do not killing people we will take action and carried it out effectively they usually back down. Now I am not saying that they are in an easy situation they cannot really enter a country without government request otherwise it would be invading another country which is something the UN like to avoid, far enough. But remember in most of these situations the in power government is the source of the corruption and or problem. I think the UN need to grow some balls so to speak or pack up. Eg the UN did nothing in East Timor the Australians and New Zealanders "went in" then after all was said and done recieved UN backing. The 1st and 2nd Gulf wars. US led UN backed. To me the UN is little more than a weak very expensive baby sitter! They still believe right or wrong I cant say that the pen is mightyer than the sword,but 1 thing is for sure their bark is defently worse than their bite!!!
Have a good weekend
