Apparently, the U.N. hotel in Baghdad just exploded. 14 people are dead, tons more are injured, and that building is FUBARed.
I hate to be a cynical prick at a time like this, but you had to see this coming. Look. We told you to stay home. We told you we would handle it, but you had to come anyway. I think it's pretty obvious that the Iraq situation is beyond the control of the U.N., they can't even keep the security up in their headquarters. Someone dropped the ball here.
Now your building blew up and your people are dead. Its time to bust some skulls here. Executions in the street. Draw and Quarterings. But this is the U.N. we're talking about, so that is all highly unlikely. They'll denounce the attack, blame the U.S. for their own security failures, and get right back to doing exactly what they were doing before this ever happened. It's a shame.
It should now be obvious to everyone that the U.N. cannot maintain the situation in Iraq. The U.S. is the only one capable of doing so. Now be a good useless international body and stay the fuck out of the way here, or else people are going to get hurt.
