The Mein Shaft

The UN has some dumb ideas...

So no real reason for this post. Just want to comment on something I saw on CBC's 'The National' last week.
According to this news story, the UN (I beleive) is investigating the US's operations in Iraq on human cruelty issues. Not because of torture in Abu Grahib or anything, but because the US used a bullet with a phosphorous additive to shoot people. Apparently, the phosphorous has a chemical reaction so that it will heat up extremely and burn the victim as well as blow a hole in the guy.

So let me get this straight. The UN is OK with shooting a hole in a guy, but not putting a hole in a guy AND burning him. THAT would be cruel! (Sarcasm BTW)

Dear UN, WTF?
