The UN do far more than peace-keeping operations and drafting resolutions about invasions and wars.

Have a look at their organisational chart .

Any number of them could not possibly be correct in either situation..  Too vague.. If politicians, the number would be less than any number? Again, too vague..

How about this.. What was the last action the US took with the UN that american politicians did not want us there??

Maybe I'm reading your question wrong... are you asking "Whens the last time the U.S. took action that the U.N. supported but the U.S.  didn't ?"


Why would america give the veto power away and give unconditional support to U.N. resolutions they don't support?


I believe maybe that was what I meant to ask.

I also guess I meant to say that america has never took action that america didnt want to be there. So when one says that america backs up the UN when the UN finally decieds what to do is a true statement because at that point and time the UN would be doing what america wanted it to do..

I dont think I will try to read that again.. lol

Withdrawal from a world organization will not solve our ills.. The UN is america's puppet anyway.. Withdrawal would only serve to unite the rest of the world with out us or against us..

im not very coherent this morning I dont think.. lol  late night   8)

Review the entire Bosnian operation. Clinton kept saying he wouldn't send troops.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

The UN is much more than just a security force or war management body.

http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development

Those bastages!!!
