Reforming the UN is akin to the expectation that the discovery of an un-released Beatles song will bring back the Beatles (complete with a world tour). It ain’t gonna happen.

Time moves on. The values/expectations invested in the United Nations at it’s conception are better invested in another goodwill instrument. It will take some time for the corrupt to abandon the UN and move to positions of influence in the new organization. In the meantime, we will have a few years of grace and blessing to do good things.

Going back to the Bull-Steer-Table Fare analogy, Kofi et al have cut certain items out of the UN. You cannot graft this stuff back on and expect it to work. It needs to be tested before it will ever be trusted again. Testing simply results in a mess on your hands. Table Fare left out eventually spoils.

Why didn’t anyone revive the League of Nations?
