All this 'UN sucks' talk is throwing out the baby-with-the-bathwater BS. If you see room for reform, point it out. Clearly the world _wants_ to be members of the UN, so I don't see how you're more knowledgeable about what they want than they are.

I'm not wading into the debate, but I am curious...
Does this argument also hold for the IMF, the WTO, or the supra-national organizations the left
doesn't support? [/b][/quote]
The argument, 'If you see room for reform, point it out.'? It sure does apply to every supra-national organization, regardless of subjective point of view upon it. If an agency is doing something innefficiently, illegally, or to the detriment of large swathes of the population, then it should be reformed.
These global institutions are here to stay. The best way to cope with them is to continue modifying and reforming them according to need and ability.
