The United Nations is becoming more and more independent of the United States, and we really do not need to tackle any more than we already have. With the new Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon promising to handle the issue in Darfur and the Sudan, the United States is admittedly very involved monetarily with the United Nations, but to abolish the UN would be asking to cause even more friction in the already uncomfortable world theater.

United Nations. A nearly useless organization. No teeth. Heck, their "world hq" is in New York.
Every time the UN passes a resolution they do nothing to enforce it. Since 1974 the UN has passed 88 resolutions specifically concerning Iraq, including 8 since the coalition overthrow of the Iraqi Dictator Sadam in 2003.
They've done plenty of nothing.
Iraq is currently being run by the Iraqi government. Coalition forces are still on the ground in Iraq because Iraqi security forces are still unable to defend the government against terrorist lead by power hungry islamofacist.
United America? That already exists. It's called the USA.

For the sake of discussion, this is just a piece from my mind. United States of America is one of the very traumatized nations. Countries which fight a lot are not healthy countries even though they have a lot of money. When you fight, it means you are threatened, frightened, unsafe, aggressive, unforgiving and all these are unhealthy signs. Whatever the reason is. There is an enemy out there and you must try to subdue this enemy. Actually the worst enemy is yourself ( or ourselves ). And you keep telling the whole world that you are right and they are wrong. Nobody is right. Nobody is wrong. It is a miracle for conflicting people to sit together and talk. Fight comes when the talking ends. As long as neither one wants to talk, they will continue to fight. May be not fighting with weapons. But attitude like I do not want to talk to you and I do not want you to talk to me. So is it wise to let USA to control United Nations or to control the whole world ? If you cannot manage yourself, how can you manage others ? If United Nations is not working, then somewhere out there, unknown to you and me, there are some people who still continue to talk, who still have the power to make sure Earth does not come to an abrupt end with the pressing of the nuclear bomb switch.

,Even thou we obviously have differing political views I do agree with you that the UN is weak and ineffective when it comes to any sort of foreign policy, in fact its absolutely worthless when trying to do or enforce anything just look at Rwanda, Somalia, the Balkans, Iran, North Korea, etc. I could go on fr awhile, however there is some good things that have come from the body like the world health organization which has helped fight diseases in the poorest countries, they also help feed thousands that would otherwise starve. So to dump it would hurt more than it would help. Oh btw if the US ad so much power in the UN why cant we actually get real pressure on Iran, come on that why the UN is weak in the first place, it doesn't have leadership of any kind US or otherwise.

United Nation is no more relevant to todays world. It is better to change it rather than dismantling it. By changing it, we must make sure it is not depending on any country for its financial needs and it is not dominated by any country.
We can tax 2% of international trade , whuich will be enough to meet its financial needs with out looking at other countries. Once financially free, it will have the much needed freedom to function as an independent organization.

The UN should be dismantled because it is an old guard organization for a dying upper class of bureaucrats. The new upper classes do not need a group that "orders the business and politics of states" -- that being said (that the UN is a representative body of old guard) it is most assuredly NOT a body controlled by the US. The US pays for it, but it is a body of old guard, holding outmoded ideas, run by dying autocrats and bureaucrats--they waste their time spending US taxpayers money to attack the US and Israel because they resent democracy and hearken back to old days of statecraft before democracy.

United Nations must be abolished and an unbiased world organization must be established with no country having privileges such as the veto powers.

No..UN should continue to exist and US (and not only US) should stop using its influence and turning UN into its political tool...
Unfortunately as long as some countries have more rights then others we can't expect UN to actually work...We should allow it to do its job without any political interferences from powerful countries...
We can't expect UN to do a single thing as long as there are still countries who ignore the resolutions against them because of US influence...Take away the right to veto of the 5 states , make everyone equal and start working together...
