it is clearly better that the un exists and functions--with all its faults--than it would be were there no such body.

BRAVO! I would only add that UN peacekeeping efforts, while certainly not always successful, have contributed to peace and stability in many regions.
The only other recommendation I would consider is to have some sort of weighted voting system in the Security Council, the General Assembly, and the various sub-groups, etc. There is too much influence by tin-pot dictators.
