You are correct. When it was originally created the UN was a International Body to help preserve peace. For 50 years no matter what their day to day missions were, its true goal was to avert nuclear war. Since then the past 20 years or so, its purpose has become a little less clear.
For instance, even though the United States provide one third of all the United Nations funding, the UN has stood against the US on nearly every initiative for 15 years. The UN has become plagued with scandal and corruption. Many people in the US believe the UN is to broken to be fixed. Many have suggested another International Body that only included other Democratic Nations.
There is no easy answer for the UN and its future. But I doubt it will remain in its current state for much longer. When nations like the US, Japan, UK, and Australia remove there support it wont last long.

The UN was created to inspire unity in the world and make trade easier. Also, it helps deal with global issues. To answer you though, the US is not the only country in the UN. Just because we're not allies with some countries, it doesn't mean they have to leave or anything.

Because, we're united in the UN building! It's kind of like being on a religious retreat.

They are the "United Nations" and though they may disagree...

It was an ill conceived concept many years ago.
It's a useless, toothless organization now.

The name represents a goal, not a reality.
