Opposition to the UN seems to me, to be simply because the US wants to rule the coop. The US doesn't want to be accountable to anyone.

And as much as is has its difficulties, I'm continually amazed that people don't see that there has to be some sort of global structure. Without accountablity to other nations there is so much more potential for abuse.

I don't believe that might should make right and that the US should be beyond touch, being the only superpower in the world. I don't trust our leaders not to abuse this on some imperalistic agenda.




...does the UN hold anyone accountable for anything? It certainly doesn't seem to have much authority.

I kind of feel like I'm choosing between two different Empires: the UN, or the US. Which do I want?
