#6 Frank, the biggest problem with NATO is that we idiotically let France back in. Remember that France was an original member, left once the Cold War warmed up a little -- they knew if the US won, nothing would happen to them, but if the Russians won and they were on the wrong side... After the end of the Cold War, the French re-joined just in time to stab NATO in the back in Bosnia and then in re Turkey after 9/11.

Get rid of France and NATO might be worth saving.
