Lissa
has an imaginary conversation with her younger self about the feel-good
collection of useless grandstanders that is the United Nations.
It was the "peace-keeping" missions that always got to me. I mean,
sure, you may have some well-disciplined and good-intentioned Canucks
or Danes along, trying to score points for their motherland in the
International Miss Congeniality competition, but their efforts are for
naught when the bulk of the "peace-keeping" force is made up of two
battalions of the Absurdistani Light Rifles who treat the assignment as
a sort of rape-and-petty-theft wanderjahr.
Any organization that would put Syria on a Human Rights Commission has, to put it mildly, a fundamental structural flaw.
