Who cares?
The US needs to get out of the UN, and the UN needs to get out of the US.
Yeah.... mass destruction weapons in Iran-Iraq? In Syria?... more excuses for UN to go to war... I love how the UN's using these to be able to use their "sanctions" on other countries... and how they're always in favour of Western countries.
So it's a Western bought organisation fundamentally speaking, don't you agree? And it's one of the most corrupt organisations ever. Unfortunately, any organisations like this one would become corrupted and money-hungry, somehow...
So we need to get rid of them...

In fact, by Western or "free" countries, there you go... UN doesn't seem to care about people's wishes
at all either eh...? And obviously doesn't care about other non-Western countries' well-fare. So is it really international or democratical (in the proper sense of the term) ? No...
UN seems to think it can impose it's laws and will on the whole world eh?
(Don't get upset huh... these are just food for thoughts... if you have any contrary opinion on this and can refute my point, please by all means,
do so...but I personally don't have a very high opinion on it...)
And all the non-western countries are against what it does: Russia... China... Mid-East, sometimes India...so is it truly "democratic and international/impartial"? I'd say no. Humans are biased.... really. It's a "basic human nature..." And so we can't be/stay neutral about anything.
And basically, no one cares about it anymore, even some European countries want to be "free from it..." strange eh...?
The United Nations was started because of the abject failure of the League of Nations after WWI.
In some ways the UN has been a 'good thing', but in the majority of cases since its intervention in Korea in the 1950's, the results have been less than spectacular, and in many instances, a total debacle.
For evidence of their well meaning failures you can point to, say, ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, the continued mess in Sudan, ongoing slavery in Mauritania, Iran's nukes, North Korea's ignoring every mandate the International Body has passed, and so on.

The U.N. the joke of a organization run by money hungry people with real control issues. Really does any other country in the world really give a damn as to anything the U.N. says anymore ? Not bloody likely.
At best they have ongoing meeting, spin their wheels and come up with sanctions that nobody pays any attention too.
It's like having a real nice car sitting in your driveway yet no gas for it to go anywhere.
Well, your precious international body is at it again.

The UN puts the UN in UNnecessary.
Its just another world police force that we don't need.
