And other than take a body count the UN does nothing, pitiful really considering it is only interested in dictating social policies on the meek countries who comply and lining the pockets of those who work at the UN or are involved with it on the ground, Toothless paper tiger full of corrupt pocket liners.

The UN should be leading the charge against isis, rallying the military of countries who are willing to eradicate this blight and preserve the human ethics of the righteous and good.

You are thinking about the UN that was supposed to promote world peace. That UN doesn't exist. In fact, it never did.

The UN issues proclamations that amount to empty threats. They provide a platform for endless speeches by highly paid representatives from all over the world filled with words of moral indignation and demands for peaceful coexistence. Actually bringing about peace requires the UN to get their hands dirty by raising armies to impose civilized behavior on uncooperative warlords, dictators, and stateless terrorists. There isn't much interest for that as many of the UN's members are uncooperative warlords, dictators, and provide support to stateless terrorist organizations.

Have we heard a word about the in the last... wait 10 years?

And now two Japanese died who went there out of their own free will. Because a Prime Minister had to donate 200 Million $ for the fight against the people who actually live there.... and the world comes to an end?

Dont be so negative... It makes it possible for Abe in 2015 to change Article 9. It was money well spent, nay, invested.... as your name tells us truthfully.
