I think its not what the UN does, it is what it doesn't do. The veto system doesn't work, Annan has no real power, the UN is pretty much just an aid organization and has no clout. Do you think the North Koreans would tremble if the UN told them to stop enriching uranium? The idea for the UN is a good one but unless nations are all equal someone is always going to feel like they are getting the raw end of the deal. It is really tough to say that a smaller country like estonia for example is equal with a US, Russia, or China. In a single world body equality would be the ideal but when you have certain countries that contribute a lot more in money, aid, and soldiers then it really is not equal when they have more up for stake. |
Lol, and which country abuses the Veto most of the times?

His brain isn't big, don't blame him, and he is a racist to probably.

Did anybody watch the AliG episode where he goes to the UN? if not, its on his first season DVD, pretty funny.
In that episode he interviews the previous secretary general( Boutros Boutros-ghali), and he seemes to be a much better candidate. does anybody know why he only served a 5 year term instead of the usual 10?
