The end of the United Nations. english.pravda.ru >>>The Coalition of the Willing is a very weird alliance indeed, bringing together countries as far apart as Albania and Palau, Japan and Poland. They seem to have nothing in common but the opportunistic instinct to carry the train of HM Bush's robe. A large group of states would rather be keeping a low profile now. To all of them, the UN must be dead already. Equally weird is the motley Opposition camp, grouping "old Europe," Russia, India, China, and Third World countries. But these seem to still believe in the UN and to still need it. Are we now going to live in a bipolar world, split by the antagonism between those two weird blocs, a world in which the United Nations will represent only a part [even if a greater part] of the world community rather than the whole of it? Will that organization move its headquarters to Vienna or Paris now? Or are we just facing chaos, in which a nuclear arsenal is the only way to ensure one's relative security? If that is the case, we will see the emergence of more nuclear powers soon. Maybe even sooner than the war in Iraq ends.<<<
