"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

"For many reasons we know - Oil for Food, pathetic inaction on Darfur, the Durban Festival of Racism, "peacekeeping" sex scandals, persistent bias in favor of fascist states, etc., ad nauseum - the United Nations has fallen deeper and deeper into disrepute. Now - for those same reasons I imagine - Israel has indicated that if peacekeepers are to be installed on their Lebanese border, they must come from NATO, not the UN. Who can blame the Israelis? The last time UN troops were on their Lebanese border, they were all but accomplices to Hezbollah. If NATO does end up doing this job, it will be another - and especially withering - nail in the United Nations' coffin, driving the organization further into irrelevance. Perhaps we should call the UN Kofi's Koffin because - although others may have created the original conditions - he, more than anyone, allowed this to happen, a destroyer of dreams."
