Here's an example as to why the UN is a joke

So the UN is a mess. So the UN is just as divided as oh, say.... Canadians are about how to handle aboriginal rights. :rolleyes:

Quote:The President of Venezuela calls our leader the devil. Oh yeah. This UN thing is really productive.

And the President of the U.S. of A. talked about an axis of evil. That was productive too, right? :whistling:

Singing Kumbaya together (in harmony, even) would be nice, but the world is still a messy divided place. We still have a smaller planet than ever before.

I wish there was an alternative. Joke or not, right now it is the best venue we have for nations to talk to each other. Posturing will go on forever, just as it does within any group of humans, no?

OTOH, if venting helped you, I am sorry to have intruded. :)
And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
