As of today all we hear or see is either how they are stealing money from food for oil or they stand on the side lines tell all is over then give there speaches on how bad it all is. But why do they do nothing can they not understand that we are trying to let them be upfront in that is going on. But no they will sit behind and wait then they will give all there talks and for nothing it seems.
So I ask you all this question Why do we need the UN?

There is nothing good about the United Nations. Recently the United Nations has become incapable of actions like its predecessor the League of Nations. Why is this? Because of the actions of the five permanent members of the security council. Very rarely do they all agree on matters of security and all it takes is one veto from China, France, Great Britain, Russia, or the United States to strike down a proposition. Also the United States has basically implied that the U.N. is useless and powerless by using NATO to go after Afghanistan and then declaring to the U.N. security council that it would make a regime change in Iraq with or without their support. As you can see the U.N. was powerless and pretty voiceless in their opposition of such a move. As long as their are allegiances with other countries the U.N. will be useless as countries will always side with their allies regardless of whats best for the world.
Excuse me let me rephrase that, in matters of security the U.N. is a powerless internation collection. When it comes to humanitarian aides the U.N. has done some good. Provided that you forget about that discredited U.N. Human Rights Commission

The UN can in basic terms ever do some thing if all 5 of the contributors of the protection Council (France, uk, China, Russia, u . s .) all agree. and how often does that happen? not at all. This has no longer something to do with terrorism. Terrorists are no longer international locations and so have not got any representation interior the UN.

You would not be so mad if you tried inform yourself about all the good services the United Nation gives to people all across the world. Have you tried the search engines provided for you, yahoo and wikipedia?
Find out how many different missions are now taking place to feed the hungry and to mend the injured. And I would also like to ask that you allow the facts to inform your opinion.

The UN was created as some sort of World police...The UN is like a comdom...too thin...and if you put too much in it or if you stretch it so much it breaks and is no longer good for absolutely nothing...NOTHING....
If you put a million dollars in the face of this people rest assure they will move to the dark side....
