The trouble is that the world is divided over the future of the UN, which is nothing more than a burden for the neo-conservative team of US President George Bush. It must be sustained, but it is virtually useless when urgent and resolute actions are needed, as in the case of Yugoslavia and Iraq. Why should the world's sole superpower confine itself to acting within the international legal framework stipulated by the UN Charter, if it can attain its goals with the help of regional blocs (NATO) or by creating ad hoc international coalitions?

The idea of the organization was laudable, but implementation is a disaster. It's a West-hating marxist paper tiger. We should kick the present version out of the States, and use the buildings for office space.

Sudan? Oil for food? Rwanda? Sex scandals? Kids on the take? Taking away NYC park land? All taht takes a back seat to sniffling on how cheep the USA is and how superior they are.

Apparently Russia thinks the UN is the counter-balance to the U.S.

I have been against the U.N. since the fiasco at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. They are a thorn which needs to be removed from our side.

I remember when the UN was started. It was wrong then and worse now.
It was started by communists in the US, it's charter was written by communists, for communists for the sole purpose of destroying the west.
Whatever you young people were taught in school is nothing but lies!
The UN should be totally destroyed and never to raise it's ugly head again!

The one single goal that the UN has, from what I can tell is how to bring down the U.S.

No -- WE do not need the U.N. The U.N. NEEDS US (U.S)
Kick them out, use the money we were going to spend on the U.N. and convert the building into a homeless shelter and a day care center proper.
That's all it ever was anyway.

They have out lived their usefulness. It is time for them to pack up and go elsewhere.

I agree. The world has turned into a more dangerous place. The UN should soon find itself in the dust-bin of history.

If we cut the purse strings....the UN will collapse. I say it is time we do just that.

You are right on every point you raised.
The UN has become a back-biting eating machine that lives on American tax dollars. It is time to foreclose on that organization.

The U.S. certainly doesn't. They've only made everything they've touched worse.

The one and only achievement of the United nations was eradicating Small Pox... Unfortunately their position on DDT has killed 10 times more than small pox ever could. Hey, Ho, UN's gotta go. Hey, Ho, UN's gotta go.
