The Conspicuous Silence?

I have to ask myself where is the United Nations response to the current atrocities. They should be in the lead for formulating a united response and drawing all the countries together to consign Isil, Boko Haram et al to the darkest parts of history. They havent even called on Assad or Erdogan for their abuses of common law. However the UN is funded its not fit for purpose.

    Your sentiments are right on. The United Nations should be relocated to a more neutral country. The power held by the US and EU in the Security Council should be changed. The ISIS attacks are in response to the Western nations stationing military on Arab land for the sake of acquiring oil. This must be publicized and acknowledged worldwide before anything can be done to stop Islamic terror.
