QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan The U.N must start doing more against the war on terrorism. I have been discusted at their performance as of late as they are not enforcing international law properly. As soon as thease "terrorist states" started their war, the U.N should have told the countries enough is enough and told them that unless they stopped the terrorism than the UN security forces would come in. If the U.N want to continue to demostrate its importants, than it must prove its worth more. I don't like that the U.S attacked Iraq but really the U.N should have removed Sadam in the first place and sent him to the War Crimes Tribunal for gasing his own people in the first place. The reason why the U.S, U.K and other nations take international law in their own time is because the U.N does not enforce the law properly if at all and it takes them so damn long to get anything accomplished in the security council that it is often too late for their "help". There are plenty of genocides the U.N should have been more pro-active on like in Bosnia, Serbia and other parts of formal Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Iraq, Nigeria, South Africa, etc. There are no shortage of prosecutable leaders that often have cause civil war in the countries, and the U.N doesn't step in to at least enforce the peace. If the U.N doesn't want the U.S to take international law into their own hands, than the U.N must do a better job in handling international affairs.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan The reason why the U.N security forces are so ineffective is because they don't follow any real form of a chain of command. In my opinion it should be structured similarly how the allies were structured during World War II with a supreme commander and top generals representing the countries participating units. Only one should control the military forces and take orders from the U.N Security Council. Again though the U.N must take an active role in international law enforcement. That means if aggresion is needed, do it and stop making excuses why you can't give orders to do what is necessary and just do it. Can you imagine how bad it would be if the U.N tried to fight against Hitler.......hmm League of Nations rings a bell....If the U.N isn't going to do their job properly than there is no real purpose for their existance is there.
QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C To go back on topic, the AT26C originally had only the four side portholes, like an E unit. They were rebuilt in 1994 with an early microprocessor control by Morrison Knudsen (Australia), and nine of them were fitted with twin Cummins HEP sets for passenger service. At this time portholes were added to the angled roof sections, a feature introduced a little earlier by the Goninan CM30-8 (EL class). This made engine room inspection easier during daylight. They have since been updated with newer microprocessors by EDI, the EMD licencee (and they lost their MK builders plates). Peter
