Instead of knocking organisations if the US actually worked with them they might be amazed at the difference they could make. The UN does a lot of good if the US backed it fully instead of just the bits they like, it could do a lot more, I mean for instance why do you need a clause that prevents your soldiers being indicted of war crimes whilst serving for the UN? Worried or something? No person can have that freedom.

I have many family members living in various parts of the U.K. and, strangely enough, none of them seem to share your feelings about the EU. Nor, it would seem, do more than just a few of the posters on this site.
The UN has been no more successful than its predecessor, the League of Nations. Noble idea, of course, but not likely to work when so many of its members are countries without democratically elected governments. Forgive us if we prefer not to knuckle under to Third World dictators.
