Bill [how many Bill's are there?!!!] The current UN is a cruel joke. It's worth preserving rather than reinventing the wheel completely [they've got offices, employees and lots of stuff established]. But it needs a complete reconstitutionalizing. It is completely undemocratic. Sure, they vote, but the votes are given to people who happen to have killed enough people to get to power and claim to represent a country on the strength of that. Their votes are per country, not representative of numbers. They are strong on busy-bodying and weak on boundary defining and protection. The USA should take a leading role in redefining the UN and I believe would benefit more than any other country from the redesign. I am baffled as to how you could think I'm advocating Syria and Libya in their current forms and with their current representation having anything to do with anything. To me it's really simple. How come people don't even understand what I mean, never mind whether they agree with it or not? I'm happy with disagreement [my ideas are only half-baked anyway] but thinking I'm suggesting Syria's bosses have anything to offer baffles me. I suppose I don't write intelligibly. Bill Clinton for President! [No, not of the USA or Syria]. Mqurice
