Does the United Nations do more harm than good?

Question

Support your view!

Answer 1

They do good I guess

Answer 2

More Harm because they never back up any of there resolutions what so ever, I give Iraq as an example.

Answer 3

Ya, the UN scares the c**p out of the right wingers.  Something good for people might get done - can't have that!!  

Got to make up lots and lots of anti-UN lies!

Answer 4

It harms more then it helps. Look at Iraq and all the resolutions before the invasion that meant nothing. Look at Darfur now. People know about the slaughter going on and the U.N. does NOTHING. They are ineffective and at best incompetent.

Answer 5

While the U.N. hasn't been that effective at times in preventing regional wars, it has created deal of international cooperation in a variety of other areas (UNICEF for hunger, health issues, etc.)

Besides, it's always good to keep channels of communication open.

Answer 6

YES!  I call the UN the "Useless Nations".  Like all politicians, the "ambassadors" at the UN are self-absorbed, self-important, useless breaucrats.  These "ambassadors" are intent on creating a "one world government" that will be socialist, at best, and run by the ignorant bureaucrats att he UN.
