Response on The U.N.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/opinion/22collier.html

On this opinion article on the new york times the issue of what the U.N. is doing was brought up. That the poorest parts of the world are getting poorer. That we have been overestimating how good the world. The article said that the U.N. needs to help countries in the poorest part of the world catch up not the poor but fast growing counties and middle income countries continue to grow. Although i agree that the U.N. needs to make a change because they are no longer doing anything. Maybe the world should give America a little more respect we are one of the richest countries in the world and are constantly doing are part to help. America not the U.N. are the super heroes of the world whenever there is a national disaster, an evil ruler takes over, or a shortage of food who helps? America and the American people. The United Nations have become more a group of power loving representatives trying to see the world in the best way possible and trying to never make conflict. Instead of stepping in to stop conflict they will let it pursue in order to stay out of it themselves. America was looked down upon when Bush sent in troups into Iraq when looking for WMD's. Bush even at the time was trying to consent with the U.N. and if they would have helped instead of stopping maybe something would have been found. Maybe not, we will never know now. America was one of the founders of the United Nations to help keep the world in order instead it has slowly died into a relatively obsolete group.
