The challenges before us require more than rhetoric. The United Nations was created following a costly extended war. Its charter was based on Franklin Roosevelt's clarion call for freedom for all peoples. The preamble champions "fundamental human rights… the dignity and worth of the human person… equal rights of men and women." That theme, pursuant to a bi-partisan commitment by the United States, is gradually being realized, but the United Nations is, regrettably, unable and apparently unwilling to lead or even participate in the pursuit of that goal. It has practically absented itself from any realistic contributions to the struggle to achieve democracy and human dignity for those who do not enjoy those benefits.
Since the U.N.'s creation. millions of human beings have been killed, maimed, starved, tortured or raped by brutal rulers. To mention Cambodia, Congo, Somalia, China, North Korea, Kosovo, and Chechnya is to list just a few. And the US pays 22% of the UN budget. Why?

I prefer trusting the UN than trusting the USA, FOR SURE.
"Weapons of mass destruction, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction!"
Gringos are suspicous of anyone that don't agree with them.
