27. The UN was set up
by your country to a great extent.

And everyone has a vote.

The Security council members have a veto...and your country has used it more than anyone else.

If the UN needs reorganizing, then fine, it can be reorganized if the members agree.

And no, I don't recall saying that everything the UN has ever done has been brilliant...how could it be, it's run by fallible human beings.

However, a global organization is the best bet the world has for stopping wars, and making a level playing field.
