Many people complain that the U.N. is ineffective and redundant. Most of these complaints come from U.S. citizens. I wonder how many people realize that it is the U.S. who has tied the hands of the U.N.? How can the U.N. stop anything if the U.S. doesn't support the other members? Its a sad day when the U.S. has more power than all the other member nations combined.
