In my last question, people said, "Let the UN do their work"?

The UN has not succeeded in ANY of the the programs or points it was started for or tried to do in the whole time it has existed.  The only UN program that has done any good at all is UNICEF and that is because people donate to it.

To some extend I agree with you. There must be an international ethics for everybody to obey. Sue them...

I think as the question was asked in a country I would have answered as you did.  Perhaps the asker of this question meant something different from the way the question reads.  Perhaps the askers does not have a firm grasp of the English language.

Is America not the UN?To me they are because if the UN says NO they (the Americans) gone on and do things the American way.

No people are in the UN, only countries.  The UN is not mostly European, it consists of virtually every country in the world.   \n\nThere is plenty wrong with the Un -- but calling it a "pansy" organization is a little silly.

It is not a matter of the UN so much as it is a matter of the other member states. The rest of the world either cannot or will not "unite" against what much of it sees as an aggressor, America, that ignores its will. This is much like the argument about how much better the world would be if it was ruled by women. It might be, but neither is an inevitability because neither behaves in a way that indicates a true willingness to act. If America is such a male dominated imperialist power, the world should act, not just make pronouncements about how offended it is, and how morally superior, too. As things are now, even if you booted us out of the UN and payed our part in it, you probably would, and perhaps could, still do nothing but negotiate. You might be proud of your restraint, but that will not give you victory.

What people? If you are talking about a war, then that is what they are paid to do.

i think he should let them be.  how did we all get in.  those nations that first came to america didn't have any paperwork.  this is the land of the free, including the free to enter.  everyone should be able to do as they please, within reason.

Ha, I like the way that's put. America doesn't want everybody to obey it, but it seems like that becuase America is the only country with the balls to do anything about scumbags. The United Nations are supposed to take care of stuff like that, but they don't. So we're forced to take care of the whole world, becuase these other pansies won't.

The U.N. did not fail anyone, because nobody should take the U.N. seriously. As far as I'm concerned the U.N. is right up there with the comic book strip. The whole f***ing program is run by a bunch of mindless, powerhungry socialists from 3rd world hell-holes that were living in the trees 2 generations ago.  Lets take a look at their resume':\n\nTHE OIL FOR FOOD SCANDAL\n\nWow, that really panned out, didnt it? Just like everything else, the bigwigs who sit in the leather chairs profited while people from their own country died. Hmm, sounds great to me! Besides, we(The US) created the U.N. for amusement only. The primitive war-mongers and cavemen needed something to do with their time, so FDR said "Heres the U.N. Run around over there for a while and leave us alone." It only spiraled out of control. If ole' Georgie DUBYA was half the president that his Bush-Bots think he is, he'd have the U.N. torn to pieces and sold for parts.  Its a joke. They even tried to propose a "U.N. Tax" a couple of years ago, yeah right. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I give those thugs a cent.  Look what their doing now, all they want is to disarm the members of the idiot countries around the world so that they can institute a world-wide socialist state.  You can thank George Bush Sr. for that one.  This is what I know for sure.  The day that the U.N. takes over  is  the day that I'll walk into the U.N. building with backpack filled with 68.2 pounds of C4, with the detonation set to my mobile phone. I'd rather be dead than to watch my street be patrolled by a bunch of Euro-Weenies with blue helmets.\n\n-J.\n\nReply to Leela(As if that is your REAL name)\nI dont believe that "We" know how to best tell others how run their respective countries, I just don't want the U.N. fooling around with mine. Here's a question: What organization in its right mind would have a country like Libya in charge of a human rights committee? Again, I dont care what other countries do, they can have all of the fun in the world. I'm not interested in making the laws in another country, and neither is any other American. We just dont want to U.N. over here, it serves no purpose for a country that is able to sustain itself. The U.N. would be good for a country like, um, Bangladesh, where the people are too busy cutting off limbs and gouging out eyeballs to care.

THE WHOLE U.N. VOTED TO GO INTO IRAQ HOW IS THE WAR ILLEGAL? HOW DID WE VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAW. SOME PEOPLE TALK TO HEAR THEIR OWN VOICE. DEMOCRATIC IGNORANCE IS RAMPANT. THE U.N. IS SOFT. THEY DO WHAT THE USA SAYS.

Have any of you read the news?  Do any of you even realize why this person is asking this question??  Why do you answer if you have no idea what the question is?  Anyway...Yes, although Khadafi was a nightmare for a very long time, they've "behaved" since being sanctioned, and have shown to the UN that they're willing to play by the rules.  Why shouldn't we give them a chance to try to prove it??  My personal opinion is that they be kept on a short leash for a while to show that they are sincere, but if they can, they deserve it.

Is it our right to question/challenge? or is it our duty? What do you really think our leaders do with all of the insults that are thrown their way? Do they go home and seriously contemplate about whether the people have a point? Or do they stand up and dust themselves off and blow off the criticism completely? Are we really heard? Or do we just gain satisfaction knowing we've had our "say?" \n\nOk thank god I didn't get deducted 5 points for each of those questions I just asked!!\n\nI guess my point is......yes, it is just par for the course. And people will say what they want to say and I suppose the ammendment to the constitution gave us that right. And if this is stated in our constitution, how could that possibly be unpatriotic or Un-American?? \n\nDoes it do us much good in the long run? *shrugs* Probably not.....but it is a right given to us by our forefathers. So have at it!! :) \n\nEnjoyed your question! I have a similar question posted on my profile.....would love your opinion. :)

would you people quit begging for bigger government & global authorities to solve all your percieved problems. its none of the un's business what happens here or anywhere else. thats why usa was formed remember? un shouldnt exist. mexicans have been the dominant culture & population in the south for the entire time the viande have been here. why are they such a problem? were you so worried about this 6 months ago or is this the product of the media blitz?

Who is the petition to would be my first question - Congress, the president?\nThe other advice here is good. \nFirst rule: keep it simple. No more than two or three sentences, max. Something basic like "We, the undersigned, urge Congress to support the ratification of the UN Convention..."\nAnd the other thing is having a core group of people willing to circulate the petition. If you have a group in the area that will help you, use them.\n\nGood luck, and hope you succeed. We have been dragging our heels on this treaty for way too long.

Perhaps write to the United Nations in New York & ask your question.\n\nGood luck with your good work.
