    UN is and will be just as strong the superpowers of the world wish it to be.

    Until all are one there will be no such thing as a “united nations”. I think it is best that we all just keep throwing money at it and hope it goes away. The only good an organization like this can hope to do is send relief to areas in trouble. Think of all the politicking that plagues your country and multiply it by 192, the number of members, and you get an unfixable mess that no one really pays too much attention to. I would rather support the red cross.

    I think it serves its purpose. I mean, where else can some goat herder from a third world crap hole and get some fine New York hooker while scoring some drugs and swindle a load of money. The UN is the place to be.

    A situation: The new UN decides to vote that the UN should be freed. China says no. What happens? For the UN to be more than the spineless non entity it is now something would have to be done. Fat chance.

    Create a "League of Democratic States" and then dissolve the U.N. The only States which will be able to vote are democracies, but all states will be present. Pretty much a U.N. that works better and actually represents people.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
