The UN serves no purpose that I can see. We have our various treaty organizations, a world health org, a world trade org, etc. We do not need some entity that seems to want to be the ruling body of the world. They do not want ot function as a place where consensus are reached, but they want to be the ruling body. They want a say so in our affairs, they want tot ax us, they want to take our guns, they want to try our soldiers. Screw all of that. I am all for alliances when needed between nations and they should be encouraged. I am more for the sovereign nature of nations. They should be individuals at the end of the day, not parts of a UN organization. Kerrys' remarks in that article are ridiculous on there face. It is OK for Americans to die under one set of conditions and not another? Screw John Kerry and his pompous attitude. He is a snob and an elitist.

LOL! I guess you haven't heard about the Oil-for Food scandal. Perhaps not, considering you reside in your tightly knit groupthink society. I'll give you the short version. The UN is more corrupt than the mafia. Your response shows you live in an alternate universe that picks & chooses select facts from the real world that fit into your groupthink mentality. "U.N was established to maintain a concerted effort to improve relations among countries and we abrogated them completely when we went into Iraq."
