Man, someone doesn't like the UN. Do you believe in the black
helicopters
as well?

Realworld, the UN generally seems to mean well, but can't get it
together
some of the time - often due to nation-state interference, sometimes due
simply to the nature of the UN's organiztion and/or the nature of the
problem...

Tuffleyverse-wise, the UN seems to be the only ones who are really
focussing on the Kra'vak... plus keeping everyone from dropping big
rocks
or similar on Terra...

Don't want to start a massive debate, though...
