I think that the UN has proven itself incapable or unwilling to accomplish its mission. It has failed in Africa, in the former Yugoslavia, and in the MiddleEast. It is a sad joke and doesn't deserve ANY funding from US sources! I think this is part of the Bush strategy. Highlight the ineffectiveness of the UN. He made it very clear in his Sept. 12 speech that the UN's raion d'etre (pardon my French) was at stake. My question of the day: Where will Yalta II be held? and, Who will be invited? Paul

we can get rid of the UN The old "Birch Society" dream. "Never Hoppen, GI!" These kind of institutions tend to stick around, and a lot of small countries and people here still look up to the UN as an ideal.
