well, we've heard from answers from our polar (bi-polar?) opposites... now anybody else have ideas on this issue?
What really can we, or should we do to make the UN more effective?

UN worked when America wanted world cooperation; was lead by people who understood the world and acted as an honest broker. America has changed for the worse - as demonstrated by anti-Americanism in every nation including Canada.

The UN worked well when the world was split into 2 camps capitalist vs. communist. it is nearly impossible to get nations with differing ideas of what is in
their best interest to work together if they are not working
against some defined, pressing threat. we live in a world where most folks aren't real worried about russians invading so other nations are free to criticize and oppose the US with out a whole lot to lose.

those who blame Kofi Anan's son for corruption in the Iraqi Oil for Food program have invented facts.

isn't the Economist like holy writ to you, tw? are you saying that the oil for food scandal is all part of the vast right wing conspiracy?

Anan is a responsible leader no matter what right wing rhetoric says.

i once heard that 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management... who is more "top management" at the UN than Kofi Anan?
