#2 Ahhh I still think the US should tell the UN to suck it cut off all funding and support kick them out of the states and the next day open a new organization. Call it whatever Better world alliance whatever have only nations that meet certian criteria can join others can get probation status as they convert over to the standards you know (freedom democracy capatalism) this new alliance agrees to a mutual protection pact to work together towards goals to spread and support the alliances values membership ect... You ask why would any nation join this group and stick it to the UN simple America is the largest market for goods and trade in the world use it to our advantage by making this free trade and such only amongst the alliance, that would also especially include the international aid cough "international welfare". I can think of a couple of nations that would join some for the trade some for the military protection.

#3 Nope. The UN has its uses. Not many, but a couple.

1) It gives us a chance to do the occasional, quiet, behind-the-scenes meetings that can be useful. "Say, Ambassador, your country keeps supporting terrorists, that ain't healthy, ya know?"

2) A few of the UN sponsored agencies do stuff. Sometimes. On certain days. The WHO is helpful. Certain technical organizations are quasi-useful. I didn't know abut the Plenary Commission on International Shade Accords, but I wouldn't have thought it pertained to drapes, anyways.

3) It allows us to point conveniently at what's wrong with much of the world. It gets time-consuming to restate all that, so being able to point to the UN is a short-cut.

#5 Might we park the new Sheriff, see New Sheriff Article, in front of the building and help the protestors get in touch with their pain receptors and outer self? Bolten is standing alone in hell and will try to complete a noble task. Best of luck to a great man!
