Refer to the history of the League of Nations and find out how effective the UN would be sans USA.

Times are changing; EU Army is taking the place of the NATO in europe so US troops aren't needed in this continent.
Hopefully US will also retreat from UN; I'm sure Russia and China as superpowers are willing to take your place :)

Cool Staga, will they take our place financially, too?

I'd love to see us take our financial support away from the UN.  It does not serve our interest in any way that I can tell.  It is a vessel for Jew and America haters  and little else.


EU army.  What a joke.  Still, it's about time you kids started taking care of yourselves.

In the case of the UN it means get the hell outta the way since it will neither lead nor follow.

I see

but you know that you are a big part of the UN right?.. so that means that you should get out of your own way.

The UN is not some euro thing you know

The UN has become a bloated bureaucracy and lost it's effectiveness. It should be relegated the role of feeding starving nations and little else.

I can agree that it has become bloated but its better to have the UN as a forum for debate than to have nothing at all. Without the UN more nations would take matters into their own hands than it is now.

I have not seen anyone yet address the jist of the article itself.  How (or why) is it that this world body has devoted so much time/money/resources to promoting the Palistinian cause, and so much time/money/resources condeming Israel?  How is it that they have not yet been able to come up with a simple definition for "terrorism?"

The U.N. has lost (if it ever had) its legitimacy as an international arbitor.  Like the League of Nations before it, it has become the tool of choice to prop up dictators, continue oppression and suffering, and (in what is the final irony for a proportedly "democratic" body) the single biggest impediment to the spread of freedom and democracy around the globe.  Either it must begin to use a single measuring stick to judge all, or it must cease to issue meaningless resolutions and condemnations.

The world must have a neutral venue for nations that are at odds with one another to meet and attempt diplomatic solutions.  The U.N. is not that place now, if it ever was.

Maybe there is a reason for it.

Of course.. If you say a bad word about israel you are forever branded as an anti semite terrorist lover.
