Is the UN dead?

[Phreakmeister]

Do you think that the recent divisions in the UN Security Council over Iraq have led or will lead to the end of the United Nations? Does the UN still have a future, or is it standing on its last legs? Or is it already dead?

To me, the UN was never really a "world voice", it was merely the voices of the most powerful nations in the world.

The UN has never been effective at keeping the peace in the world but does do ok at giving out food. It also has a lot of people that are very good at stealing money.

I would like to renamed it to something like.. WDF...(World Debating Forum)

[AWPrime]

That would be more accurate.
