Thanks for the great shows, I really enjoy them. You guys mentioned a lubrication, sliker’n'snot or something like that. I tried going back and listening in the podcast but couldn’t find it. Could you tell me what it was again? Thanks – Pat

The LoN’s only problem was that it lacked Authority. So people decided to give the newly created UN more authority. That’s great.
Unfortunately look who the UN brought in and put in charge… the people who needed to be watched became the watchers.
Which is why it needs to be tossed.
Look at the G8. Who’s in the G8? Pretty much the nations that run the world.

Sorry to seem like a nit picker, but the Mad Ogre, while correct about how useless the UN is, has no idea what he is talking about when he comments on the “League of Nations”. The league was an ineffectual, powerless group of “Do Gooders” who’s only accomplishment was the Kellogg / Briand treaty rejecting war as a means of diplomacy. The uselessness of the League was illustrated when Hitler told them to go to hell and left the league to pursue his own agenda.
The UN charter was a post WWII attempt to improve on the miserably failed league. Neither had any effect on post war Europe, that was accomplished through unilateral action by the US.
