Maurice,
There have been many positive developments in the state of governments achieved without strengthening the UN. The end of Apartheid for one, the collapse of the Iron curtain for another. If the free nations all get together and decided to use force to stop all repressive regimes we would be fighting half of the world. Practically any communist country, any fundamentalist Moslem countries, a great deal of S. america. The list goes on. We unfortunately cannot just wave a magic wand and fix the whole world. What it will take is time and international attention focused on repressive activities. The UN cannot dictate national policy to sovereign governments. It would invite conflagration on a massive scale. And then after the UN is done with the totalitarian regimes, what will it tell the US or the French or the Russians to do that they feel impinges their freedom? Will we attack themm as well? Maybe in a few hundred years the entire world will be democratic. We can at least hope.
