The U.N., in concept was and is a fine idea. Unfortunately, in practice we have ended up with the very same sort of international confusion and babble (pun intended) as did the original Tower of Babel as described in the Bible, when all the peoples of the world intended to build a structure that would reach up into the heavens, and God scattered them into seperate nations, languages and cultures.
I daresay that the U.N. is the second attempt (the League of Nations being the first) to undo what God did at Babel.
This world will not be ready for a single unified government until the King of Kings returns to establish same. All human attempts to construct such a global government are doomed to disaster and chaos.
Mark my words.
And as Bartles & Jaynes used to say 'Thank You For Your Support' ;)
Ah mkjessup, I agree with you 100 percent. There will be no peace until the King of Kings returns. What bothers me most I guess, is people like Kofi, making money off of the poor and innocent. And laying blame at the feet of the US. I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for people like him. I am a Canadian, who sees the US send aid and all kinds of help across the globe in times of distress. I see other nations do nothing and rag on the US for not doing enough. I see a whole lot of things. I see your great nation poised on the edge of an abyss. I pray to God, your great Nation will wake up, and overcome all that lies before her. If not, she is doomed to the dustbin of history.
