The U.N. is an outmoded concept. Even 20 years ago the U.N. was a good idea. Sadly, it has become an "Let's do whatever we possibly can to put "The United States of America" down" society.
Go back and look at the last 20 years. The U.N. has done nothing but make America look like a bunch of Warmonggering barbarians in that time.

yes, the U.N. needs work. trying to get them to agree on an action and act on it is about as easy as getting any ten of you to agree on a post without flaming it.
they are not ideal. they lack cohesivness, and unity.
but.....they are necessary. if not for the U.N., WE would be policing Hati, or Hati would be left to fend for themselves. if not for the U.N., WE would have footed the entire bill for the first Gulf war, and would have been in the mess we are in now 12 years ago.
getting the leaders of differant countries to agree is not easy. but, NOT acting against what they do agree on has stopped MILLIONS of people from dying. and their efforts during times of crises has saved MILLIONS of lives. and having a place to pool substantial resources, be it military, humaitarian, or just plain cash, has dampened the strain on many counrties during a crises.
a world community is very necessary for world peace and stability. world wide, the U.N. is more necessary than any one of the countries that make it up.
people dissagree. and if we can get them together, and agree to abide by the decissions the majority of them make, irreguardless of weather any one particualr member agrees with it or not.......we can save lives. we can have world stability. we can have peace.
the world must be involved. what does it matter if, say, the U.S. has the perfect plan for world peace, but 3/4 of the world HATE us? they will not listen. but if 3/4 of the membership of an international community come up with a plan, or support a members plan, and the rest agree to abide by the decision, reguardless of weather they agree with it or not, it WILL suceed.
no single nation can do it alone. no matter how powerfull they are. we wittnessed that with Germany, and again with Russia in afganistan, and now in Iraq, ourselves.
we need to be SUPPORTING the U.N., not subverting it.
this addministraitions dreams, right or wrong, WILL FAIL unless they have the support of the world. we dont. this addministraition has killed that path for us. and now they are making overtures of trying to gain public support to withdraw from the interntaional community alltogether.
Hittler took this same path. this EXACT same path. Germany was a democracy before Hittler. he passed laws stripping away individual rights. he used propaganda to turn the people against his political addvasaries. he controlled the media, the people did not see anything he did not want them to see. he withdrew from the international community. he LIED to his people toget support to invade poland. he used PROPAGANDA to make the german people feel there was a jewish plot to take over the world...........replace jewish with islamic, and you have OUR propaganda machine pegged.
now he is pushing for peace by fighting for democracy through out the world, and dimminishing the impact of the U.N. by using PROPAGANDA to discredit them in YOUR EYES. a go it alone policy for the better of the world.
we do not have the right to force our beliefs on ANYONE. be it negros and segregation, islamic and christian beliefs, homosexuality and religion.
force is met with force. we accept people the way they are, and learmn ot live WITH them, or we become the new Third Rich.
we become PART of the world, or we will be at WAR with the ENTIRE world. we do not need to eliminate the U.N., we need to eliminate the Bush addministraition....
all hail Bush.
