I was thinking that maybe the UN could evolve like the US Constitution has. The analogy seems fitting enough. The US Constitution began with slavery, no rights for women, etc. and look how many countries it has inspired and how the meaning of its words has grown and been interpreted. It began with an injustice, but one day will reach something close to perfection. The UN began essentially with the injustice of the stupid "partition plan" and continues up to this day... but along the way I think it has evolved...and look at how Germany and France stood up to the US before this recent war... I know... it didn't stop the war but at least they showed the world that they didn't agree. Perhaps in the future it will evolve in a positive way in a similar manner as the constitution has. parhad wrote: >yes it is...depends what you think it does...it acts as an international front for the United States..it`s like all the "aid" America gives...it isn`t aid at all and the money is basically given to American companies and sheel companies...in other words more corporate welfare...it isn`t like actual checks get handed over to Third World Countries. > >The US needs an international cover...like it needs a relisgious cover. From its inception the UN has been bashed by the US and used by the US...it began by stealing Palestinian lands and calling it a new state...Israel. Everything after that was the usual...including the war in Korea...just because member states did it, it was okay...like a gang acting together...when will people learn > >Is it our fault we`re "cynnical"...or "angry"...must we blind as well and deaf and dumb just so we don`t upset people by seeing what they`re doing...and reacting as any decent human would? --------------------- |
