The eruption of Islamist terrorism in northern Lebanon has created a lot of media coverage but little focus on the refugee camp where it originated. The Nahr el-Bared camp is one of several run by the United Nations subsidiary organization UNRWA, which is supposed to keep arms out of the camps to maintain their refugee, non-combatant status. How did the UN miss this terrorist infiltration in Nahr el-Bared?
It turns out that they didn’t. I explain at Heading Right that not only did the UNRWA know about the infiltration, they deliberately ignored complaints from the refugees at Nahr el-Bared.

I linked that Washington Times piece about 1:00 this morning but amazingly
enough I didn’t handle it nearly as well as you did. I’ll Add a link to your
piece as soon as TypePad gets over the headache it seems to have right now. The
last time the UN did anything useful was when Russia boycotted a session and the
UN voted in their absence to send troops to Korea. It’s time for the U.S. and
the other major powers to cut them loose.

This why the US can never leave the UN. Our veto in the Security Council is the obly thing stopping the lunatics from getting out of the General Asembly assylum.
