Description I know, I know: wordy, boring, etc.
I prefer to think of it as straight forward. This is the first part of a list of 101 things the United Nations has tried to do but the US refused to support.

Both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are irrational hate-mongers... do you genuinely believe that partisan, non-binding condemnations of one side will make a difference? Or better yet, that it will help the peace effort being sewn solely by US diplomats? Even condemnations of both sides of the conflict would, ultimately, accomplish nothing.

I have yet to see the UN make a single, concerted effort to bring peace to the region. The US may be acting as a Security Council block in this regard (as they should, in those instances), but it's because the US is the only country presently working towards a nonpartisan solution to which both sides can agree.

This wallpaper is, effectively, a laundry list of testaments to the ineffectiveness and illegitimacy of the UN as an international forum wherein diplomatic issues can be resolved peacefully.

I'm confused...does the UN vote to condemn and criticize things? Are those resolutions? If the US simply did not comment on these things it is not automatically against them.

"a bit plain but it does get the point across about what the un has done."

Ha, yeah, I wasn't really trying to be artistic with this one, like I said in the description: straight forward.
