Does the U.N. resemble an august, deliberative body of statesmen...?

Question

or is it more like the bar scene from Star Wars?

Answer 1

I love the stars wars bar scene analogy!
You have all the people from different tribes, top black market traders of illegal goods, the deal makers, and the unintelligible babbling.

Answer 2

I'll go along with the Star Wars bar scene analogy.

That seems much more accurate than "deliberate body of statesmen."

Answer 3

Is there, anywhere in the world, an 'august and deliberative' group of any sort ?
Everything seems much more like a circus of privateers....

Answer 4

You are too kind in comparing it to the star wars bar scene

The UN is too tragic to be funny

The League of Nations didn't work either

Answer 5

Neocons have detested the U.N since the days of the John Birch Society. It is important to have a place where nations can meet civilly. Will it solves the worlds problems, maybe not today, but, it is a start.

Answer 6

I prefer the bar scene metaphor.

Lots of seedy characters from all over the place who gather together, talk about clandestine deals, and wind up doing nothing.

Answer 7

Yes, they are statesmen.. It was thought the UN would prevent another world war. We haven't had one since its founding. The UN is also great at coordinating humanitarian relief efforts.
