It is a hollow, corrupted shell of a noble idea that, like most other human endeavors, has fallen vicitm to the very worst of human nature. I'd bet that far more useful and effective dialogue and diplomacy takes place in secret backchannels of communication between nations than in any U.N. process. That's how the Cuban missile crisis was solved: backchannel communication directly between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. All the U.N. proceedings ever did was generate fodder for newspapers. Perhaps it is time to move it elsewhere, as the NY venue just provides cover for spies and shifts a disproportionate share of the cost onto the U.S. And drastically cut the U.S. contribution to the U.N. budget. Cut out the high salaries for do-nothings, the big perks and bennies, and maybe most of the crooks and leeches will move on to greener pastures. Maybe they can somehow get some honest folks in there. Or maybe just pull out entirely and kick it out of NY. What purpose does the U.N. serve anymore except to serve as a window-dressing to the notion of international cooperation and diplomacy?
