The UN has done so much good for humanity. World leaders working together for peace. There are so many examples. The UN presently has internatinal "peacekeepers", not it's own army.
WOULD YOU SUPPORT THE U.N. WITH IT'S OWN STANDING ARMY?
I believe in a strong UN. A strong UN, with a strong leader. A United Nations Army with about 5 million men....would save American lives. Would deal with international threats, and rogue nations. THEN WE WILL HAVE PEACE.
And the Security council is a remnant of WW2. It needs to share the power.
I believe a powerful UN is our best chance for peace. What do you think?

I have reservations about the UN. I agree they have been a moderate force in an otherwise polarized world.. but I can't forget the creation of Israel..
I have often wondered..if the UN were to back Native Americans by saying " Give them New York" the way they said "Give them Israel" would we fight it ? I bet we would

These are the wonderful people that gave us the Korean War (they solved that problem nicely, didn't they.)
The war in Iraq is also the UN's doing --- Saddam bribed enough of our "allies" in the security counsel and he thought they'd stop the British and Americans from enforcing the UN resolutions.
The UN has been totally ineffective in stopping the genocide in Africa.
Personally, I think Bolton is doing a pretty good job with trying to straighten up that dictator-infested, corrupted cesspool called the UN: but I think our next UN ambassadors should be a contingent of the United State First Marines...

Biggest flaw in UN is Veto Power.That means this Gigantic agency run by Aristocrats[Many of them Very corrupt] is only good for the intrest of 5 Nations.What is needed a complete overhaul of UNO .There are reports WHO which is a part of UNO helped very much in spreading HIV OR AIDS During the days of U Thant.Is this kind of behaviour Acceptable from a World Agency? I am sure many of you will say NO NO NO

Not just no, but hell no. The UN is a joke---Korean War, Darfur Rwanda being great examples of they're "great works". Either won't or can't back up they're own resolutions. Human right abusers on the human rights council. What we need is a council of democratic nations that will stand together and , if necessary, fight .

Yeah.... Oil for food, what a great thing.....
No, not in a million years would I support a vote for a foreign entity to dictate American Policy. Only a socialist flag burner would submit sovereignty to the UN.....

Not a bad concept, but at this time the USA would be considered a rogue nation. So we would have to change our "leadership" or have foreign troops in Washington.

No I would not. If you want the UN to protect you Move to Darfor they are doing a spectacular job there.

I dont trust the UN as far as i can throw them. If you think the US is corrupt, take a look at kofi

no with their corrupt leadership proven by kofi (sex scandles and food for oil) the UN should be disbanded. They have no creditability in enforcing their own resolutions and have become a joke.

No because we could not agree who will lead the army.
What if China or some Muslim nation wanted to run it.
