Do you still believe in the aims and aspiration of the United Nations?For me this is a joke by the Americans together with the 4 member nations that can pass or reject a resolution.What do you think?

The permanent members of the Security Council don't set policy - there are many policies that get through that the big 5 disagree with.
Don't forget that typically, whenever the UN needs 'muscle' it relies on those 5 countries to provide it.
The UN is, in my opinion, in need of reform. I believe that there's a lot of wastage of resorces and the powers granted UN peacekeeping forces are often laughable. For example, they cannot use force against anyone unless they're fired upon first. This means that provided people don't attack the UN, they can do what the Hell they like.
Situations like Rwanda came out of this ridiculous constraint.
If you want something like the UN, they should be in a position to act.

That is the reason why Busch and company are suspected of knowing and allowing the 9/11 twin tower bombing of airplanes.After that they attack Iraq.In Mindanao,Philippines u.s. soldiers are staying there for how many years,what is the reason,no one is questioning,because they are the policeman of the world? thats ridiculous.Many patriotic soldiers in the Philippines are in jail because they tell the truth that the GENERALS are giving orders to bomb the churches of the muslim.These filipino generals are in turn only obeying the command of the American soldiers.In fact one American national is accidentally hit by his own bomb,and he is rescued by the u.s. embassy in Manila and flown right away to the u.s. mainland.What is the meaning of this?His name is Jeffrey Schling a journalist according to him.
