They Want WHAT Now?!

Apparently the United Nations wants to create a group that will "manage the Internet fairly and efficiently." A bold demand from a hopelessly corrupt and overly bureaucratic organization, that can't even get even small countries to co-operate with one another.

Bah, the U.N. is a miserable failure as an international organization. All it cares about is maintaining the world's status quo, no matter how bad it is; peace at all costs as the saying goes. All they can do is invoke murderous sanctions on countries that are already in rough shape. Stupid U.N. can't even enforce it's own vaunted human rights accords.

I hope the United States tells the U.N. to shove off. One thing we don't need is a black hole of inefficiency gobbling up the Internet.

The United Nation's problem is akin to what I see among American parents today: they talk all big and bold, have no ability to discipline their children (IE: member nations), and bitch and moan when others try to do it for them.

What the UN needs is a freaking military, not a bunch of whiney delegates and political doubletalk. When will they shower off the bullshit and figure out how to get the power they need? Likely never, as member nations would sabotage every turn and/or attempt to do so.

The only solution to the U.N.'s problems is to start over, and do things right. After all, having democratic republics sitting next to brutal dictatorships isn't exactly the recipe for peace and understanding.

I feel compelled to post my own version of the U.N., the Consortium of Republics (CORE). I'll go think about it some more and post it when I finish the general details of it.

You know, were it not for the fact that everyone in America has a few common goals, Congress would be like the UN. In many ways, Congress is acting a bit like the UN.

Perhaps the UN is too 'new,' too big, and too varied to succeed in today's world..?
