Viewpoints: On the UN

I'd be interested in hearing everyone's points on the United Nations (Pro or Con) and the prospects of the next Secretary General...

Personally I hate the UN on many levels. As an American, i think they often subvert our rights as a sovereign nation. As a conspiracy theorist I think they are the start of the New World Order or One World Goverment, either way you put it. As a person who likes prophecy, I see this is to be the most likely place the Anti-Christ would form his power. Ties in nicely with the Conspiracy theory. I might add I dislike that the U.S. makes up like 70% of the U.N. troops, yet we do not have 70% say. Why does the U.N. need an army anyway?

But unfortunately we need a place where all the nations of the world, at least most, can sit and talk and have relations. Until we come up with something better the U.N. will have to stay.

Maybe all the heads of states could just start blogging each other.

Excellent Idea on the blog thing.. :)

I agree that there is no replacement at the moment. However I would like to find one quickly considering the overwhelming evidence that Bill Clinton is positioning himself as the next SG. This must be fought severely on all fronts. The prospect of a Hillary Presidency and a Bill UN should be everyone's concern.

You bring up a very good point about sovereigty . No good can come out of a "global" government. We must remain a United States of America not of the World.

P.A.- I think that might be a good spot for Guilliani

I think Mr. Guilliani mayh be Hillary's opponent for 06 in New York.

If Guilliani runs for her seat, i think he'll win hands down. SO the question is will she risk running against him and losing 2 years before she want to run for president?

She won't have a choice on whether or not to run - she has to run no matter who the republicans put up against her. 1. If she doesn't she looks weak and afraid and 2. She must have the senate seat again to bolster her chances, if she loses, there goes the White House for sure...
