On another level. The United Nations hasn't done anything correctly over the Darfur issue. Instead of causing economic sanctions or whatever they are doing against Ethiopia. It is not working. This is a place where they should make a resolution to enter with force and make peace and protect the people from hostilities since their government has failed to do so.

Argh, I absolutely hate when people say that force should be used in order to make peace. Do you seriously see that having the desired effect? Where, exactly has that method worked thus far?
The UN is a power game, an attempt to establish a world order that would be fair to everyone!!! But the rules of the game in the recent decade hav violated and broken thats why it looks like joke.
Expanding the permanent members is a good initiative, but only if the rules of play are respect otherwise there will be no effect. And one of the rules says that no arm conflict or no strike will be materialized unless its endorsed by the Security council! The last events violated this rule! So coming to the original topics, if the rules of the UN are not respected we don't need such a farse! Maybe we should have another international body that would show the true face of the leading counties in the world, something that would reflect who pulls the strems in the world. Because like this, some economic forces, hiden behind their governments are trying to full the rest of the world, that at least in UN everyone is equal and that their economically motivated moves are for the well being of the international peace!
a famouse philosopher/writer once said: "Would you agree to build a temple of Love if ints groun a life child is burried?"
So its the same with the curent situation, you can not cause a war on behalf of the peace... simply those two state of minds, or situations don't go together
