In theory there needs to be a counter balance to the USA.
In my view, however, even with its many flaws the USA is more moral than the UN. The USA knows things like Abu Graib were bad. The USA has multiple vocal oppositions, such as the other party and the press.
The UN can shrug off any scandal no one cares. No opposition, no press watch dog, no oversight, no competition...
And so, without moral credibility, without armed forces, without economic power- it has not more effectiveness than what the USA gives to it.
Not a great situation.

The U.S.A. should stop giving. Plain and simple. Let them crumble and be done with it.

"In theory there needs to be a counter balance to the USA".
What an odd thing to say. What has America done that you would say she needs a counter balance?
What countries have we taken over and claimed as American?
Where has America erred in your opinion that a counter balance was in order?
