NEW YORK - It is a classic UN dead end: Everyone agrees that the Security Council must be expanded to reflect a changed world, but no one can agree on how to do it.

There is no doubt that we are in a time of chaos in the world. Wars and genocide are as prevalent as ever.     Misery and suffering are on every continent of the globe we call earth. The world is currently focused on the 'War In Iraq' and the problem of nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea but the sad fact is threats to world peace are as prevalent as ever in spite of the efforts of the UN.    Where do we turn? Our respective governments? Grassroots support? Does genocide on the African continent for example even matter?    It is not unreasonable to look to the United Nations for understanding and problem resolution. Presumably, we expect it to be an unbiased and peace loving organization. Yet at closer examination one begins to realize the fact that the United Nations has been a total failure in terms of world peace. Rarely has the UN brought enough countries together to form an alliance to intervene meaningfully in the affairs of an oppressive and brutal country.    With the exception of the World Health Organization little good has come from the peace making mission of the U.N. I suggest the UN go to what it does best. With its world standing already established, the UN should focus on research, education and health, the missions it does best.
