Critics say that the United Nations it will lose "credibility" if the pseudo-Adolf Saddam is not removed forthwith. If not, we are told, the UN will suffer the same fate as the League of Nations (born Geneva 1919, died 946).
Of course, the US never joined the League at all, despite its being the brainchild of Woodrow Wilson. Key dates: Germany left the League in 1933; Expulsions: Italy, for its invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935; USSR for its war on Finland in 1939. Successes: International Court in the Hague founded; crises averted over Vilna (1920) Corfu (1923) and Mosul (1924 and that's yes its the same Mosul in northern Iraq). Signal failures: disarmament conferences, failure to prevent Japanese invasion of Manchuria (1931). By the time of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) the League was all but irrelevant
So which other countries never joined the League?
...Saudi Arabia, Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal, And Bhutan.

Have a nice day.
i have all ways wanted to invade Bhutan....
what about the Legion Of Doom? oh, im sorry. that was the greatest failure of The Justice League.
thanks for trying to raise the level of discourse around here but youll never get anywhere with factual analysis. play the blame and shame game, its much more effective invective. and by all means, be alliterative. and dont forget the pop culture references. can you quote at length passages from Withnail And I or are you more of a Yes, Minister type?
I'm with Withnail, but Uncle "I will never play the Dane" Monty steals it.
