Claudia: Thank you for your vitally important web site and your relentlessly incisive reportage. Without you and your pursuit of the truth, the UN would be getting away with even more travesties. In the past I have proposed that the UN be sidelined by establishing an international congress of democracies. This would become the de facto leading world body, where all the power would be focused.

Recently I have been considering what the UN has done RIGHT over the years. Also, what is there about the UN which is useful or positive in some way? Some things that do NOT count is that it embodies some type of an ideal of world government, or that it stands for world peace, or that it stands against war and conflict. World government is not an ideal. The UN does not stand for world peace (instead it sits a lot). The UN has not prevented war. So I ask you, one of the leading authorities on the UN, this simple question: what has the UN done right, or in what way has it made a positive contribution to humanity? Even deadly nightshade, in low doses, can save lives… What say you?
