all governments are powered by those they rule over. without the authority (our apathy) & taxes (our money) they are just idiots in the corner. all governments are inherantly wrong. they cant solve anyones problems, only create laws about it. there is nothing they do better than private industry, used to be space exploration but thats out now. obviously they cant protect but end up endangering us by producing policies that are the reason that 'terrorists' are mad enough to attack. the cure for a corrupt government isnt a bigger government, like the un, the cure is no government. basic technology has given each of us a voice (1.800 numbers, internet, ect), theres no more need for representatives that swell & bloat the governments to absorb so much of our wealth (taxes) that most live in poverty. the mindset is reliant on government so much that the thought of life without one is scarry & absurd. if you can think of something governments do really well, lemme know.

The United Nations is a global government to which 191 nations belong. Your question makes no sense because there already is a "global government."

The United Nations is weak, indeed. The weakness of the organization stems from the widespread corruption throughout its ranks.\n\nMany of the UN's poorer members (as well as many of its socialist members) view it as an opportunity for wealth redistribution. Take a look at the amount of money contributed by each member nation versus the benefits received by each member nation. I am not saying that helping poorer countries is bad. Indeed, every nation should help out as much as they can. However, help should be voluntary and not forced through the United Nations.\n\nMany top individuals are corrupt, including the Secretary General. If you think the US government is corrupt regarding some of the defense no-bid contracts, you should look up what goes on in the United Nations. Not only are no-bid contracts common, NOBODY can summon the records. When an investigation becomes necessary, it is always conducted by UN members who find no wrongdoing. The company that Kofi Annan's son works for received numerous such contracts.\n\nThese are things that I certainly DO NOT want my tax dollars paying for.\n\nNOTE FOR EMILYROSE: An organization for peace is certainly a worthy goal. But when diplomatic options have failed, the UN has shown in recent history that they have nothing to back up their resolutions. Iraq thumbed its nose at the UN for a decade before something was done - and it wasn't the UN that did it. Countless resolutions regarding the Palestinian state and Israel have been passed (some for and some against each state). Each government laughs them off. Iran is now thumbing its nose at the UN. We'll see what happens. If the United Nations is not willing to go to war to back up the resolutions of the international community, they should disband and all go home because nothing will ever get accomplished. Kind of like what is happening now.

it is not a new discovery. UN have been a puppet in USA hands for long time now. UN is useless when the subject concerns USA.

Why couldn't the UN? Not only did the UN not try to stop it, the UN authorized it!

U.N peacekeeping is not a good job. You will basically be under U.N umbrella and not by the rules of your native country, and the U.N is managed by people who have no military experience at all, and is very corrupt and deploy you places they have very little information and waste your life in there, remember Somalia?, (Very good example) U.N mission failed in Somalia, because the mission has never been planed well.

No I don't think the UN have been successful. When the people in Africa need the UN help to stop the war within itself the UN waited to long to help them. It is like us in the USA calling 911 and been told that we have to wait a week for the EMT to come and help. That is not right. If they are being asked for help then They need to help asap. Not when they feel is the right time. They are the world police.

I would say don't replace him. I would choose to pull out of the UN and have them evicted from th building in NY. That body is so corrupt how can it really function effectively?

The UN has always been a joke.  Recent US actions didnt change that they just pointed out what we all already knew.  I am visiting Bosnia and all the places that were designated UN safe zones where everybody got murdered because they were foolish enough to trust the UN.  Until the UN actually shows it is competant enough to do something (anything) the US and other countries like Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia will just keep doing whatever they want whether you agree with these actions is another question.

The United Nations is a very necessary organization on many levels.  Any place that attempts to foster communication between so many diverse member states is necessary.  Their other works like UNICEF, UNDP, UNIFEM etc. do much to improve the living of millions of people around the world.

rethink the UNOs...there are too many and they usually overlap each other, there's like 4 that concern natural disasters.  UN has limited funds, so regroup them, combine UNIFEM and INSTRAW so that there is one super power one for women, then funds aren't stretched too thin and you don't have 4 different organizations busting their butts to do the same thing, a lot more could be fixed if the UN was more efficient.

Has the UN ever been effective anywhere would be a better question.  Other than a place for different goverments to come together and meet, the UN has no real power and no real effectiveness.

The US basically started the UN!  The US pushed for other countries to join the UN during the Cold War and now must accept what it has helped implement.  Can you Neocon Conspiracy theorists get over yourselves?  The UN is not a demonic institution that was prophasized in the "Bible" or a creation of the former Soviet Bloc countries!  Geez...

First of all Osama, I would have to ask you this:  ARE you your namesake?  You sure know how to get in your air time online.\n\nSecond of all, and unfortunately, I would have to agree with you that yes, the United Nations should be shut down.  It is at best, a do-nothing body that pays and employs people who have risen in The System, usually through politics.  More realistically, it is probably at least 50% evil.  The best explanation I can give to support my belief is that, like most other institutions, it functions according to the ideological model of the ying and the yang.  I have heard it explained as follows:  Good and bad must exist in equal amounts and in equal proportion, and inside every thing that's bad you have to add a little bit of good (hence the white dot inside the black part of the yang) and inside everything that's good there has to be a litle bit of bad (a black dot is then painted into the white portion).  I learned this at a local Children's festival, an annual Stonecutter parade and proselytizing event put on by a network of Kiwanis, Mormons, Shriners and others.  Another thing I do not like about the United Nations is that many of its offices are or were once in Geneva (the capital or major city of the Satanic Triangle in Europe).  I have met someone who used to work for WHO, I believe, in Geneva, and she was, well not the nicest person you would ever want to meet.  She did, however, appear to be a staunch Calvinist, even at home.  Does that fit the bill?  Are you a Stonecutter, Osama?  More important, is your notorious namesake gettiing a similar message from the Moslems, possibly through Sufism?  You can see why the Middle East is burning!  It makes sense that the U.S.A. is stealing their oil.  Freemasonry is a system of theft.  They usually start out first stealing form "thier own" before they intrude into other people's territory.  I have two uncles who were Stnecutters, one deceased.  I know how they carry on.  They assume that everybody's life and everything other people have worked for honestly is theirs to appropriate (l. first steal 2. then alot to others).  Please refer to the Oxford English Dictionary for a definition of the word.)  To alot is not necessarily the opposite of to steal.  It is simply the second part of the same process.  If you don't like kit you can consider hopping off the System yourself, if you are on it.  Yes, again, the United Nations IS phony and a costly deception.  Your hero really does see through Western hyposcrisy.  However, is he any better himself?  It is possible to be both a victim and a villainat the same time.  It is obvious.
