This week, under the watchful eye of UNIFIL, the United Nations peacekeeping force in Southern Lebanon, there was a fatal border skirmish between the Lebanese Army and the Israeli Defense Forces. This tussle reminds us of one of the great absurdities of the United Nations: Hezbollah, widely known as the most lethal terrorist group operating today, responsible for the killing of hundreds of American marines and embassy employees, and the slaughter of 85 civilians in a Jewish community center in Argentina, has a de facto seat on the Security Council.

During the course of filming U.N. Me, my feature documentary about the failure of the United Nations to live up to its founding principles, I have come across countless examples of the organization's shocking indifference to, and inability to act against, evil. This one is near the top.
