    I'm fine with the way it works. Countries with real world power are on the security council permanently, little counties get to voice their opinions, and no state actually concedes real world power (unless they never had any anyways).

    I think many conservatives would prefer it to be the boogeyman of their dreams,but the fact is the UN is just a debating society with no real power of its own.

    I would like to see the UN become either extinct or stripped of all power and made into a public spectacle for presidents to fist fight eachother when they have a problem instead of killing everyone else.

    From what perspective? The question really is "What is the question?". If you want change, you need to have a goal for that change, and a perspective. Are you the all knowing being? Are you the US, and you want to improve it for us? Are you China, and you need to keep the world business friendly? Are you a small nation and you want aid?

    Good luck.

    Take the veto power away from the 5 permanent members in the security council.
