No, that is not what I said. Your graph demonstrates the benefit to the world of America's efforts to end the Cold War and encourage the spread of democracy.
The UN, however, has morphed into a Society for the Preservation of Despots. When countries such as Sudan can sit on the Human Rights Council, something is seriously wrong. Add to that the inexcusable fraud and corruption of the Oil for Food Program and the recent Deloitte Touche survey, which uncovered the huge ethical problems within the organization, and we can see that the UN has serious problems of credibility.
IMO, it is time to replace the UN with an organization in which membership is predicated upon the practise of acceptable human rights.
