I am reading the 2004 book "Shake Hands with the Devil" by retired Canadian armed forces Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire. Lieutenant-General Dallaire's courage and perceptiveness in writing about the UN humanitarian mission to Rwanda, which he led and which ended in 1994, have justly won him many admirers.
I have long believed in the two-faced dishonesty of United Nations members, especially the powerful ones. This belief needs no further confirmation than the following quotation from pages 89 and 90 of Lieutenant-General Dallaire's book. "Member nations do not want a large, reputable, strong and independent United Nations, no matter their hypocritical pronouncements otherwise. What they want is a weak, beholden, indebted scapegoat of an organization which they can blame for the failures or steal victories from."
