The UN is an essential but deeply flawed organization..
Woeha..... this is indeed a very US American statement. Please .... get rid of Bush &Co .....elect a real president and the UNO will function as intended.
In the open thread I posted a link to the Annual Report of the BICC (Bonn International Center for Conversion). English edition is not yet available but the figures they mention in the press-release are, for us Europeans, frightening......I repeat : frightening. That level of militarisation is a world wide threat as demonstrated by Israel supported by the USA. The struggle of man against tyranny is the struggle of memory against forgetting.(Kundera)
I think it's flawed in ways pro-US as well as anti-US, though. For instance, I think the membership and prominence of the Security Council is tilted unfairly in America's favor. ProgressiveHistorians: History For Our Future
