From a broader perspective, when will people finally wake up the realization that the UN is nothing but an instrument of creeping socialism. It originates from the (President Wilson) initiative of the league of nations following WWI (and which was his main initiative to cajole the US into that war), and was built upon by (FDR, who saw it as his great achievement following WWII, and some argue, this idea being the driver for his determination that the US get involved in WWII).
The world would be a better place if this abomination was disbanded forthwith.
