I agree, and believe you are right. Although we would probably disagree on 
the causes.

[ZION] UN Moral Authority

2002-10-23 Thread John W. Redelfs
Marc,

I'd love to hear your response to the following:

When did the United Nations become the supreme moral authority of the world?
One might advance such a proposition if most of the organization were
represented by democratic governments, but that is not the case. Of the 191
nations in the United Nations only about 40 percent (85 countries) are
democratic societies that enjoy political rights and civil liberties. The
rest are either controlled by dictators or by a one-party government.

Is it true that most of the member nations are dictatorships and one-party 
states?  And if so, how might that affect the good or evil done by the 
umbrella organization?
