We do not need the UN in its present form. Here are some things to do to restructure the UN

Cut the bueacracy by 50% and cut the remaining peoples' pay by 30%.

No country can address the UN unless they are a democratic country.

No country can vote unless they have a human rights element in their legal & governing system and that it is adhered too.

The UN only is a forum where international agreements are hammered out. No enforcing capabiliy. Those allowed to vote have weighted vote based upon several factors, such as economic strength, population, and influence(leaves France out on all counts).

Only nations that here the strongest in a particular area should serve on committies (no Lybia on the Human Rights Commission).

The UN headquarters should be located in the poorest country.

That's for starters.

We don't need the UN in any form!

Get US out of the UN and the UN out of the US!

It should never have been allowed to exist. It was formed by communists for communists and the charter was written by an american communist, Alger Hiss!

I watched Dennis Miller on HBO this weekend. His suggestion for France was hilarious. He said that Bush should lay a pipeline from Iraq to the Eiffel Tower, stand at the base of it with his hat and cowboy boots on, and yell yahoo! at the world's tallest oil well!
