If something doesn't work - why have it?

The UN issues are no longer carrying any substance. Each nations agenda takes presidence and that's the way it will always be.

World peace and harmoneous relations are no longer the key issues - its all economics and which country can sell the most weapons to those who have the bucks to buy them.

The UN is obsolete in many ways. NATO fortunately is still hanging together on most of the key issues.

However, why is it always the American's Brit's or Aussie's who have to muster the troops? Why are they the only ones with any backbones - to make a decision or take up arms? Why is it other countries seem to lack any unity or strength or be there when needed or called upon?

Old Europe is just that - its OLD. Old school and old ways of thinking. Have they been beaten so bad that they can't stand up for the real tough issues? Drugs, Terrorist, Thugs and other low lifes that roam the world.

By isolating themselves it doesn't really protect them from the outside influences. Rather it builds decent and becomes archaic. What a shame - they are rusting and obsolescent in many ways.

They must not have anything worth fighting and dying for or is it just a plain withdraw from the world issues and hope it goes away?

Too bad - together we would have made big strides in the world peace issues.

Sitting on your fence doesn't make other's think you are talented rather it makes us suspecious and that you have something to hide.

Some day you may need us again? And guess what? We will be there for you - that's because that's the way we are and being united to a cause is our way of thinking.

So ponder this and try to get the big picture into focus.
