Is the UN a joke?
 

Drop me a line, lemme know what you think.

almost as much a joke as bush

Their fast becoming a very bad joke.

its just the 2nd installment of the league of nations....

I wish the US would pull out of it.
mb

If we was to pull out, that would be the end of the UN. I say "let's do it".

If you vote no please explain why. I want to see other people's opinions.

bitching about it wont do any good.

quiet germ

ok now just pretend the un is the guy getting blown up in the smiley

eatthis:

Any organisation is useless when only one or two of it's members can undermine it totally hake:

No, I don't think so. At least not yet. They need some major changes. They need to beable to make decisions and beable to ACT based on those decisions if this means military power.

If they have no way to enforce anything...what good are they?

They do bring a lot of humanitarian aid to a lot of countries. Most of you think if militaristic terms. That is only one part of the UN. The UN is supposed to provide stability. They do this to an extent, but without all the parts, it will be hard to enforce their rules.

I'm skeptal. I don't care who sucks and who dosen't. Maybe if I was in the Army I would agree with you guys.

no, because they are still powerful, and the U.N. is a place where all member nations can come and meet, and if a country has the backing of the U.N., they pretty much have the backing the the world. I think it is losing its power, because of Bush. but i support Bush, and i really could care less what the world thinks.

HAH!

You want to know why the League of Nations wasn't succesfull??



HAHAHA!!!

-EXCUSE THAT LAST POINT I MADE-


I TOTALLY agree with pulling out of the UN, perhaps the US biased people out there would open there eyes when half the ruled goes to war because we're not there to enfore peace.

Ok I want to know why the League of Nations wasnt sucsessful (Im not debating, I really want to know)

Because they didn't have any "teeth" so to say.

Also because the US wasn't in it. biggrin:

Re:
 

Ofcourse it a joke, anybody that puts the head of Lybia pver the Human Rights part is a joke. :)

I am voting next year. Bush is an idiot. He can't even pronounce english words correctly. For example he says newclar instead of nuclear. oOo:

God, not another..."he cant talk like I do" post.

Can you honestly say you'd prefer Lieberman?

I don't know who I would want until the next election comes. One day I'd like to see a black woman run.

...the UN sets its agenda and sticks to the rules...unfortunately, the people they go up against don't play by the rules,
and the UN forces have no spontaneity to counter that without more meetings, vetoes etc.


...also, this sort of thing doesn,t help,

Iraq to chair U.N. disarmament conference

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- Iraq will chair the United Nations' most important disarmament negotiating forum during the
panel's May session. At the rules-minded United Nations, it's not a country's status with international weapons
inspectors, but the letters in its name that determine which member state chairs the Conference on Disarmament.

"The irony is overwhelming," a U.S. diplomat said. eek:

I wouldn't worry about that, chances are Iraq will be disarmed by then. biggrin:
