Excellent post, Tarl Cabot. I knew bits and pieces of it, but that was a good executive summary.
The UN is great in principle, but the disproportionate dues/vote ratio makes for a situation where the have nots can safely bleed the haves. This after years of it being used as a stage to fight the cold war, with the Soviet Union using its extra "votes" to sabotage the US.
Interesting that this is still played out today with the UN regularly passing resolutions condemning Israel and not simularly condemning Palestinian suicide bombings.
