The UN became a terrorist organization the day a few countries were granted a right to veto and the rest were not.

Would you care to explain what you mean by that? I assume you
have done some research on this and thus are aware of why some countries cannot veto and some can, right? ...Right

?
Fair enough if you have a gripe with the UN, and fine, dislike the veto system all you want, but to call them
terrorists is a
tad bit over-the-edge.

First, calm down. Get in your medical cabinet and find a 25mg chill pill. Then, tell me why you think the UN is plotting to take over the world.
Actually, I wouldn't grieve too much if the USA
did abandon the UN. It'd decrease the corruption significantly:p.
The US systematically vetoes every UN attempt at bringing Israel to justice; they don't follow UN regulations and rules; and they pretty much hate the whole organisaiton. Until the US government gets its act together, it shall not be missed
*.
And to use corruption as grounds for leaving the UN is very hypocritical in the US's case, what with the US being ruled by the
exceedingly corrupt Republican Party. And let's not get into the Guantanamo torture,
ordered by the Bush Administration, the
Downing Street Memos (more sources), or how
the US has a huge debt it's not doing much at all to counter.
But sure, let's bail poor old innocent USA out of the evil United Nations, lest they might be a bad influence.
Couldn't you find a more biased and strange-minded site

? "
The Human Rights Council was Kofi Annan's flagship of UN reform. But only two weeks after it began, it took up where the discredited Human Rights Commission left off - Israel-bashing."
So they think it's a
bad thing that when Israel breaks just about every rule on warfare and occuption there is to break, the UN condemns them?
Isn't that what the UN is supposed to do? Or is there some rule that I'm not aware of that makes Israel immune to all attack? Please link to it if that is the case - thanks in advance.
EDIT:
First of all, it's worth mentioning that the UN isn't a nation. In a sense, "the UN" didn't pull out of Rwanda, the member countries did.
What I'm trying to say is that the Rwanda pull-out isn't a problem with the UN, but with the individual member nations not caring about the conflict.

Were the UN attempting to save the world when they used a ship chartered for peacekeepers to bring children into East Timor to be exploited as prostitutes?

The link points to an unproven report. Speculation, no more.
"Setting up a system of rape and torture" is pretty different from rogue peacekeepers raping and torturing. Nice try. Next time, don't link to an article that effectively disproves your statement:p.
*Just in case someone feels inclined to call me anti-American, I've lived in Houston for three years and found the Americans to be a great bunch. It's the government, namely the Republicans,I have something against.
