Should the United States drop out of the United Nations

Despite certain setbacks of the U.N., including it's lax standard of using force and it's expensive remodeling bills, the U.S. should emphasize the need for a revised United Nations. The Defense Monitor states that "Beyond a carefully revised Security Council, the increased us of the UN to avert, restrain, or intervene in disputes between and within nations calls for improved military planning capabilities under the direction of the Security Council" (p. 77) As we saw "Beyond the Gate" in class, it became a question of whether or not the UN actually cares about what they are doing. They are helping to help sustain peace, but with orders not to fight for natives unless the UN members are being shot at. These orders must be revised before we can get anywhere new.
