The U.N. system, born after the Second World War, collapsed. It's worthless.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Let us face it, the U.N. has failed. It has failed in its mission to promote world peace.
The United Nations has become a largely irrelevant, if not positively destructive institution, and the just-released U.N. report on the atrocities in Darfur, Sudan, proves the point.
The U.N. is worse than disaster. The U.N. creates conflicts. Look at the disgraceful U.N. Human Rights Council: It transmits norms which are harmful, anti-liberty and anti-Semitic, among other things. The world would be better off in its absence.
If the U.N. didn't exist, we'd be inventing it right now.
The U.N. can be very frustrating and at times impotent, but it can also be a valuable forum for discussion and resolution of world problems. We should not walk away from it just because it's failed to live up to its promise.
I have concluded that the U.N. can do a few things well.
But you know, the system almost destroyed itself while it was goin' on trying to destroy us.
I wouldn't give up on the U.N. yet.
The United Nations system is still the best instrument for making the world less fragile.
The United Nations is an indispensable but deeply flawed organization. It is valuable to the United States, and the United States is invaluable to it. We need to reform it.
