World politics quiz: What does U.N. stand for?

So what does U.N stand for? Anyone, anyone? Bueller, Bueller? If you said United Nations, then give yourself a Valium and go back to bed. I have a few more appropriate suggestions.

What do you call it when their forces are put in charge of keeping weapons out of southern Lebanon, a promise made to Israel as a condition at the end of the 2006 war with Hezbollah. And instead, missiles, with Scuds capable of hitting Jerusalem, have poured into the region under the helpless watch of the U.N. troops.
(http://www.haaretz.com/news/lebanon-army-7-missiles-ready-to-be-fired-at-israel-found-in-south-lebanon-1.260252) The same group that idly stood by while genocide was ravaging in Darfur and Kenya. How about Useless Non-Entity?

What do you call it when the governing world body rebukes a world power for exercising it's right to strike at it's enemies? Enemies of not only the U.S. but the entire world. Enemies that have no nation, no constitution, and no soul. CIA drone attacks have been successful in striking at the hidden leaders of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, yet the U.N. says now that it is a no-no. (http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/world/americas/un+report+says+cia+drone+strikes+in+pakistan+aposillegalapos/3667127) Let's go with Utter Nonsense.

And what do you call it, in regards to the "flotilla massacre", when a supposed impartial world governing body immediately jumps to the defense of a group that has a terrorist organization at it's helm? An organization that willfully and publicly calls for the destruction of the other. An organization that has time and again rebuked efforts by said enemy to hold reconciliation talks that could lead to state-hood. Have you read that Israel offered to take the entire load of humanitarian supplies and deliver them, along with the tons of medicine and food they already deliver daily to Gaza? Have you read the statement by flotilla spokesperson Greta Berlin and I quote, "...this mission is not about delivering Humanitarian supply, but rather about breaking the Israeli siege." Peace activists? Armed with knives, slingshots, rocks, smoke bombs, metal rods, improvised sharp metal objects, sticks and clubs, 5KG hammers, and firebombs?
It seems that the Underground Nazis have one goal in mind. To enable the terrorists to continue on their destructive path.

So when a burqa-clad suicide bomber strolls into UN headquarters and kills himself along with a bunch of UN workers, what will their response be then? Will they stand up for the rights of the bomber?
