United Nations: nifty or nasty?

The following video highlights some of the strengths and weaknesses of the United Nations.

Some Questions to think about...
Is the idea of a global government appealing or frightening?
Can an organization like this make a real difference toward peace, equality, poverty?
Different countries have different roles in the U.N. – I.E. Is the strength of the U.S.A. in international issues a good thing or more of a problem?
What does the war in Iraq tell us about the problems in international relationships?
