Honestly, the U.N. is so useless and ignorant as to be detrimental to the cause of international peace and diplomacy. I'm hoping that this turns into such a big debauchle (spelling?) as to force them to disband, or at the very least fire all of the current representatives and administrators and start over.
Don't get me wrong, conceptually the U.N. is a good idea, but the people in it are all complete idiots. And at least with the U.S. Congress, there's SOME good people, and there's a CHANCE of kicking idiots out of office by electing their opponents.
But Barack Obama loves the UN. He is about to give them permission to tax us, and to regulate our weapons as well.
