  1. No. Is the world at peace? Has poverty been eliminated? Are human rights respected by all nations?


  2. Yes. for about 50 years now.

  3. Yes.  It is fatally flawed with permanent members having vetos which turn all major issues into political stalemates.  Europe is too heavily represented, and Brasil and India have none.  Its corrupt, and useless.

    We need an objective and efficient global forum to raise and resolve issues.  It needs to be an organisation with a willingness to act and without a myriad of hidden agendas and deals which taint everything it touches.

  4. Yes.  yes they have.

  5. No. What would be the alternative?

  6. No.

  7. YES

  8. It has never been needed more than it is today.

  9. The United Nations is still useful but it must shed its image as a pawn of the US to advance its interests as the primary contributor.

  10. No !

    One country is not the "boss" ! We have no right to invade Iraq and commit war crimes of killing 1,000,000 + innocent civilians! ONE MILLION ! People please remember the most important fact that brought us to war. WMD's were ready to strike us !

    Now, you could say "Well, Saddam was a bad guy" OK and Castro isn't  bad ? We dont invade him !!

    I think time has told the truth,as always, there were lies put upon the people of USA to finish Bush senior job in Iraq !

    and the PATRIOT act ? (it very casually eliminated at LEAST the 1st & 4th amendments) Who's worse ? UN or Bush ?

  11. Yes, by 15 years.

  12. Some time ago they think they pass laws that trump US Laws.

  13. No. Were U.S. citizens to give up entetainments to support and perhaps change it to more democratic organisation might have life yet. Other citizens as well. People should not forget a world is out there beyond elections. So anyone in Politics section who wishes to change U.N. make strong could do so. Were more people involved trained up in it no they could give it spark. Anyone Who Fights It Fights World. Human Supremacist Attitudes could be rejected at it a strong U.N. capable of keeping things that way. No more Suicuidal Greed Wars.

  14. The UN succeeds in the area of humanitarian assistance, refugee advocacy and election observation, but fails in the area of peacekeeping and policing. These are better left to international coalitions, in my view.
