We can't afford for it to go absolete. The world is changing very fast. Today, I posted an article re. China. They are predicting that within a couple of decades China may outstrip the US as an economic power. The world is getting way too small. We need a world forum. Don't you think the UN should declare that China's government and all the rulers other countries that are not selected by their populations are illegitimate over the long term, and each country with non-elected governments has the requirement to lay down a 5- 10- 15- year path to democracry, or face the UN's wrath? And what exactly will be the UN's wrath? If the UN is a "world forum", but country A has a dictatorship, who gets to represent country A's population in the world forum? Country A. Problem with the UN is that it gives an air of legitimacy to too many governemnts that do not represent the will of their people. What is its choice?
