The problem with the United Nations was that its charter was too idealistic. It didn't have the built in checks and balances necessary to be effective. In fact, its charter was designed to be taken advantage of, and the only checks and balances built in was the veto power of the Allied powers in the Security council.

Why did we give veto power to France anyhow? They were a defeated nation.

The members of the security Council of the U.N. are the allies Kerry is still waiting to join us? He'll be able to schmooze these thieves into joining the coalition?
Kerry, Kofi Anon and Chirac are weasels.

Two of the "founders" of the United Nations were Agler Heiss and William J. Fulbright. Heiss was later proven to be a communist spy. Fulbright was a socialist and segregationist who would later mentor Bill Clinton.

The UN is the league of nations with more power and more socialism. The sooner we get out, the better.
