Ahh the French

Watching the UN go after France is a lot like watching San Antonio beat Detroit two nights ago - I hate both teams, I think they're both made up of kind of bad people, and I generally end up disliking the fans who try to defend them. Still, I watch, because there's always the hope that someone will get hurt:

The United Nations will ask France to pursue a former UN employee accused in the killings of 32 Rwandans in the 1994 genocide, after an internal review found the world body failed in the handling of his case or protect its Rwandan staff... Witness statements collected by the UN-backed International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda say Mbarushimana ticked off names on a list of people to be killed, including fellow UN employees.

A Frenchman who turned out to be a collaborator in genocide? A UN employee whose self-important platitudes to international law turn out to be an excuse to commit atrocities? Insert snark here.
