The UN has become less an entity which has the power to impose sanctions and more of an entity behind which nations seem to think they can hide.

Iraq, despite its decade of violating sanctions and abusing Oil for Food, despite its decade of slaughtering its own people, was actually permitted to present argument against action by the United States and its coalition. There is absolutely no reason that a country like that should have any voice whatsoever.

And why is it a good thing? I didn't really say it was. I was just pointing out that it is already happening. I think the UN is closer to absolute failure than we all know. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see NATO fill some of the void left there. I think that China is going to be the one to bring all this about, as well. China is eventually going to give in to its communist tendencies and begin to prepare for invasions of surrounding countries. The UN will be brought to its knees when China, a permanent member of the Security Council, is able to veto any UN actions against the country (China will be the council president in April oOo: ). Europe and Eurasia will get nervous and rally behind the US and NATO who are both ready and willing to take pre-emptive action to stop China before it starts. Such scenarios are why the UN is a joke. I mean, in 2003, Syria was on the council oOo:

I have more to say, but I have some assignments to complete before 12PM CST.
