Yeah, my country and people have been long enough humiliated and downgraded. Watch us rise again in the years to come, as a free, democratic country, the leader in the Balkans.

They did a good job granting the Olympics though

The UN grants the Olympics? As an aside, China was supposed to improve their human rights because they got 2008. Hasn't happened.

Amused, may I suggest you lift your sights a little higher?

Just pointing out the obvious. And I'd rather be a civilian sir.

I thought it was a different world body. Don't get the civilian comment.

to Amused: Fine, but pay attention to what the guy at the top says- he says "may I suggest you lift your sights a little higher?" ie. forget the Balkans, its a big wide world out there.

Are you SERIOUSLY telling me you think that the UN does not affect the Olympics?

Wilson failed to compromise for the ratification of a League of Nations based on compromise, what does that say about him? The UN is only interested in Western assets, this is why political involvements in Asia and Africa usually fall by the wayside, unless those western powers are entangled with the affair.

No. But then if you're going to say 'affect' well we could definetly make a case America effect it, or China etc. Thats fine, carry on.

The American taxpayers are the biggest sponsor of the UN. Other countries hardly contribute to any of it. Yet, rogue governments like russia are allowed to participate in it.

I truly supported the move to dissemble the UN. It's a worthless organization. Either reform where the majority decides with the respect of the rights of the minority and upon that motion, they all should agree to help the aspirations of human beings (ethnic groups and so on) or else, just cease to exist.
