I disagree with Mr. Solway on a couple points. He points the blame only at despots on specific geopolitical issues. What about the present US Administration that supports so many of the social evils emanating from the UN. The attempt by the UN to destroy the family. Their attempt to put SEX at the top of the social agenda and focusing on homosexuality and transgended issues so as to subvert the family. This subversion of the family is one of the biggest problems causing havoc not only in th US(black culture) but throughout the Third World. In this General Assembly just finished it was the African and Arab countries (particularly Egypt) that stood up for conservative values when the liberal countries like the USA, Canada, Sweden, etc tried to subvert the defination of sexuality.
In other words let us call a spade a spade and admit to errors.
Secondly. I have come to think that the presence of the UN , as dangerous as it is – is better than nothing. Part of the UN problem is that the US and First World liberal countries can be so hyprocritical and arrogant on many issues that turns off potential allies. I know for a fact that on many issues if a greater outreach was made by America’s UN staff to some countries they could change the balance on many issues and even remake the UN. I have see it happen. Just as with the despotic regimes of the world , the USA and Canada, etc also push their own sometimes hypocritical social perspective based on their liberal bubble existance. Others therefore do the same and in showing their own self centered ignorance make the UN out to be the big bad guy.
Much can be done if the US adopts a strong, conservative but compassionate stance at the UN and drops the arrogance as projected by this liberal Obama White House. The USA still does not know how to play the game and the foolish , non self sustaining librality of the Canadians and other Western cultures just muddies the waters for an institution that is dysfunctional because all members only look after their narrow self interest.
