What do people think of the UN after all this? Is the UN truly an irrelevant organization, and perhaps more importantly, why is it irrelevant? Is it because this whole idea of granting countries veto power (in exchange for them gracing the UN witheir membership) completely undermines the whole point of democratic process? Just curious what people think.

Also, I would like to agree with Tom, I am big Kubrick fan. Andrew, I know we saw Full Metal Jacket a few years ago and it was a disgruntling experience. However, I have seen it two more times since than, and it is now my favorite war movie of all time!
