Even more evidence of UN incompetence.....

Before I begin, I'd like to thank the driector of Neon Genesis Evangelion for brining these failures to light in last night's ep on AS:

1) The UN is militarily weak against enemy forces
-its tanks and helicopters (CLEARLY MARKED 'UN') stood no chance against the Angel (okay, so Eva-01 is about to kick some Angel ass, but remember that NERV and all that it has/will done "doesn't exist," so they don't count :D). Not even a nuclear mine could take it down! Which leads me on to my next point....

2) The UN supports nuclear proliferation
-For an organization devoted to preserving peace, WHY the hell would you detonate a freaking nuclear mine?!

3) The UN has devolved into a dictatorship
-Observe that the only three leaders were military generals. Who, might I add, "have regard for human life - not even their own" (Strangelove :D). E.G: Coercing a young boy into piloting complex military hardware against his will, mistreatment of their own soldiers (about to force Rei to pilot, albeit her poor health).

While I'm ranting, I might as well bring up my hate of NERV

4) Generally, any covert government organization will do more harm than good. Not to mention they're holding all the guns (and EVAs). Leading me to point five:

5) The UN practices gun control
-Okay, so what happens if we defeat the Angels (I admit I haven't seen the entire series yet), but the UN remains the tyrannical dictatorship that it is? Instead of the Angels doing us in, it'll be the UN (unless of course we can stage a revolution)

Psst - If you haven't realized by now, this was all a big joke :D

Umm, the UN is not a military dictatorship. They are merely represented in episode one by three generals. You don't expect the military of the United Nations to be lead by Kofi Annan himself do you?

Also, NERV, headed by Gendo Ikari, is the organisation that forces Shinji to pilot the Evangelion, true they recieve funding from the UN, but they're largely an independent body (as the movie CLEARLY demonstrates).

N2 Mines are weapons which have non-radioactive properties and leave no traces. Thus I assume they were deemed safe. Plus, it's a freaking Angel! You've gotta try everything!

BTW, I'm so jealous of your position right now. An EVA Virgin. Prepare to be mind-fucked!

He knows too much. Quick hit that area with a nuclear mine.
