True--Peter is finally making some sense in recent posts. I add that the UN 
doesn't work because the US vetoes any useful resolutions, and at other times 
it is just seen as a rubber stamp for what the US wants.
An for the statement about it being like communism, I agree that it hasen't 
yet worked in practice (I'm a communist so I have to remain optimistic). The 
reason is that it wasn't implemented right--it was done in a half-ass way, so to 
speak. We'll try it right in the future.
