UN Part of the Problem, Not the Solution ('Cept for That 'Final' One)

It seemed like a good idea at the time (following WW2), but since then the UN has morphed into something that diverges from and completely contradicts that initial vision; something rotten; something that's advancing the interests of a totalitarian one world government and is threatening to snuff out the flickering lights in that shrinking portion of the globe that remains free.
