Look using the same litmus test of whether something is "systemic" would actually condemn the US forces more right now (though in this case the troops involved are subject to prosecution under the ICC)... point is, and what I was trying to make, is this:
"Don't condemn an orginization whose goals and methods are noble in origin, because of the actions of evil men"
A thought that most greeks when exposed to bad press should be familiar with - a bad apple can spoil even the best basket.
The problem with this thread - and most of the people that have it in for the UN in the past - is that the majority of critics are either "Republicans" or anti-globilization folks; people more than willing to critique the actions of the opposition without realizing the flaws of their own...
