The U.N. is the logical next step in world-wide democracy. It is akin to the federal government over the state governments. Assuredly it has flaws, as any large organization will (though this incessant outrage for oil-for-food corruption is absurd coming from anyone supporting the U.S. gov't seeing as how the U.S. was also involved in that alleged corruption). But to denounce it as a whole and claim it is useless and should be avoided (when it doesn't do exactly what one sub-group within it desires) is nonsense. The U.N. is _exactly_ what the U.S. is striving for around the world.

I see only pure hubris and an utter lack of logic in anyone that believes the U.S. should abandon the U.N. It does nothing more than discredit the claim that democracy is desired over tyranny.
