LON vs. UN: What's the difference?
The LON (League of Nations) was established in 1920 under President Wilson's instructions after watching Europe's falling apart because of WWI (the Great War). This organization would find itself being disassembled with the end of WWII, a definite failure for a group that its main goal is preventing these kind of conflicts. The UN took the scepter (and the LON's building in Geneva) and the responsibly to enforce peace on earth. We may testify the UN's policies and try to predict the not-so-far away future.
There is a way to enforce peace in this world, and if we take a zoom-out from each country and community that would educate their children for a loving public with social values and ethics, all these in order to create a better society with peaceful intentions and a wisdom of living in a harmonious world, we get to the bigger issues, international relations.
The UN seem to be missing its point of existence, or just doesn't put enough effort in reconciling negative winds. Instead of being an active living international brain for the whole world, this union is lost in the middle of a dry dessert of satisfying the power countries, religions and, with all sorrow, even saying "Yes!" to racists.
Anticipated to make democracy and peace blossom, this union's chairman's speeches are all filled up with denunciation words for those who use violence.
Ban-Ki-Moon doe not distinguish between depressing dictatorship which chokes its opposers and a flourishing democracy that defends its existent.
Public will wonder whether the UN is to blame for apathetic behavior against Syrian leadership protestors murders, or the real actor, the US. The meaning is, there is no real world united leadership in our days, but a union that clears off the ground for the true powerful players to do whatever they believe is right to do.
In this kind of situation: we may keep stare at thousandsof Syrians being killed since the start of the protests against President Assad, Palestinian terror against Israel that does not concern and bother anyone from establishing a Palestinian country, impossible-to-describe disasterous situation in Africa and Iranian dictator that promotes nuclear abilities with a clear target of exterminating a democracy in the middle east.
Shabbat Shalom
