..."OK. Now what?

We're now a small power and a small economy without an international voice and no functional alliances save one.

Dream come true. "...



Banquosghost, your point is made & understood, I'm just venting in difficult times.

With that said, after this war, perhaps create a thread and we could all look and agree on what works at the U.N. and keep those aspects of the system.

Then we could discuss & identify the processes that don't function and perhaps attempt to rethink them now that the Cold war years are over.

Yes that would be a difficult process, but we all might as well start somewhere and now (after Iraq war) seems like the time to try.

However I’m not directly in the political process so I’m a bit of an outsider and may not have the insight others here may have of the U.N. and its nuance. I'm not sure if there is a least a paper that has some true insights to the current U.N. situation.

-I have to get back to work,
-bye for now;
Steve.
