I am always surprised when someone states that the UN is worthless, and that they want to retreat from the UN, as well as some more, unsavory things.
I realize that there has been a smear campaign in the US against the UN in order to soften how the US is ignoring the important global body. The reason for this- could it be that the US wants to be the sole spokesnation for the rest of the world?
However, surely the people see through that, as the UN shines through invariably with its true character.
Inefficient it may be, yet there have been moves to get rid of the bureaucracy, however that has been vetoed by the US. Otherwise, it's trackrecord in the field is better than for example the US military.
I think the reason is, that quite simply Americans don't want hundreds of foreigners gather up in New York, who aren't American, never want to be American, and speak up against America, whenever they want to. If not, then what?
