That's the way the UN is now. Everyone wants the UN to work, as long as it doesn't meddele in one's business. When the UN was created a lot of effort was put in finding ways to prevent the UN to meddle in the major powers' business. Since the same state of mind prevails today, not only will we not be able to get the UN to work properly, we will not be able to replace it with anything better. Just look at how the US has reacted to the International Court. Americans, like others that don't make it in the papers as often (mostly because for the others it just figures that they wouldn't go along), will not under any circumstance let go an ounce of their sovereignty. Jean-Louis Canadians, on the other hand, have little sovereignty to begin with, so they are usually at the forefront when it comes to promoting supranational organisms. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
