Well, CSM Charles Hayden, I do like CPT Jack Durish’s response, but deep down inside, I really wish for the U.S. to withdraw from the United Nations, take possession of the buildings (to include all the UN’s various countries’ ambassadors) and let them reconvene elsewhere.

How about we simply deduct the cost of policing the world from our UN payments

Truth is the really awful UN missions all over the world, are out sourced to the poorest nations allowing the US to focus on areas more in our national interest. I pulled deployment data from the UN website....the US doesn't contribute all that much to the Manning.

I can fathom your point, certainly...the same happened with the League of Nations, different variations on a similar theme, despite alp he efforts of Pres Wilson...it started out as a good idea, howeverz the notion of it was far too idealistic as well as simplistic...further, how it was organized didn't account for societal change and/or social evolution...unfortunately, I:s the only world body that exists at present, apart from regional entities like NATO, the British Commonwealth, ANZAC, OAS, etc...until someone devises something more workable, while I obv agree with your views, certainly, I just wouldn't know what else to suggest, you know? I think when it was set up after WW2, those who set it up ten couldn't have envisioned the changes that occurred in itz that !ale it essentially all but unworkable today, you know?

J.P. Morgan went to the White House to meet with Roosevelt. "If we have done anything wrong," Morgan said, "send your man to my man and they can fix it up."
[Okay, that's funny. What about the below?]
Roosevelt declared that "the enslavement of the people by the great corporations . . . can only be held in check through the expansion of governmental power."

Well, I'd always gleamed he'd said something to the effect that it couldn't ne done...that was the way I'd always heard the story, though I can perceive why, given what he apparently really said, it didn't ring white the way I'd expected...I did honestly hear the story that he'd told JP Morgan no, I honestly thought i t was gonna say that, I appreciate your pointing out the difference, I jadmt realized Jed phrased it that way...I think he was trying to convey his efforts to trust bust...I probably heard the story paraphrased when I'd heard it in the past, I gather....
