The USA is not generally seen as the "leader of the world". People generally do not like self-appointed leaders who tend towards unilateral self-dealing advantage. People generally like to have a say in political activity which is nominally on their behalf. I don't see how even if it had strong support from the US, that a totally remodeled and stronger UN would happen, except perhaps after decades of negotiations. > People do what benefits them. Most people would benefit from such a thing, so most people would be in favour. What people don't like is bossy bureaucrats from Brussels telling them how much foam they have to have on their beer, and how much curve a cucumber has to have, and whether they are allowed to buy bananas or not.
