The question will be what is going to be a clever alternative to the UN without losing the claim to be really global. As I already said, a solely American solution will not help, since the nations who would take part will not represent the whole world. Nations like China, Russia, Japan, Germany, France, India, the UK and Brasil have simular interests like the US. They need a safe basement for trade and their security. Therefore they will help the US if they share its interests. For this kind of help the UN is still a working frame. Smash it would mean, that there will be no continuing contact between the leading nations in this world. This would be a high price for the satisfaction of kicking Kofi Annans a**.

We have embasies in just about every country, and most of them have embacies here. I assume that is the case in most other countries. It is ridiculous to assume that communications among countries would suddenly stop without the UN.

If the US withdrew from the UN and proposed an alternative made up of exclusively Democratic countries that embrace capitalism, and that all foreign aid would be restricted to countries that prove they are embracing those concepts, they would be lining up to join. Those countries that wish to remain on the dark side would soon be relegated to pariah status. Down with the UN!
