[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartmaniac: [QB] "Like the UN's record during 40 years of cold war was a string of successes. . ." Well, no. If you wanted to evaluate the UN's merits, its diplomatic track record wouldn't be the ideal place to start. As an august body dedicated to preserving peace and protecting human life it has, in fact, failed abysmally. And why? Because the organization has been trampled over & shoved aside with contemptible impunity in EACH AND EVERY conflict to date, cold or warm. Add to that an utter lack of military authority and you realize in an instant the whole thing's a farce best mercifully cut short. But a second, diametrically opposed superpower (say, China) might just bring about a long-overdue change in global attitude towards the UN, restore the [b]O[/b]. to what it should be: an international force to be reckoned with, instead of a doormat to wipe the world's dirt on.
