Whatever people's opinion on the Iraq war and events leading up to it, I think the United Nations is antiquated. It does so much in aiding countries, and yet when it comes to having to use real muscle, they fail. Every time. For example:

Iran being a big bully.

Iran has broken UN seals and made a nuclear plant fully operational. Whether or not they're using it to bring power to their people, or develop a weapon, it doesn't matter. The United Nations put a seal on it, and Iran broke it in defiance. Let's see what's happening at the UN after this blatant "thumbing" of the nose..... waiting.... um, anyone there?..... the European Union has noticed, have you?..... anybody?......
