Gregory Pratt Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yes. Unequivocally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Of course. I would guess that those who have problems with the UN, for the most part, just don't like the way they do things - not the fact that it exists as a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 In concept I agree. Then look at all the competing interests around the world. Is it possible to achieve something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 There is a HUGE value to a "forum of all nations" but it is not the UN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 They usually do way better in the humanitarian end of things than they do in the political end of things. Is there a use for them? Eh, I guess, but they should be much more effective and reactive. The red tape and politics are just nightmares, especially when you add the corruption that has gotten all of the way up to the top of the organizational structure of the UN. They are pretty much the Articles of Confederation. Good starting point, but they have outlived their usefulness, and need a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That would mean the US, China, Russia, France and Great Britain would have to give up the power they wield in the UN. Fat chance of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Not really, it keeps stuff from actually happening of any consequence in the actions of the UN outside of humanitarian needs. The UN was designed to do nothing - with the mindset that doing nothing but keeping people arguing keeps them from fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
