While we all want the U.N. to live up to its original intent and be the place where the world comes together to solve international problems, the reality is the U.N. isn't all that different from any other political body. Countries and individuals play to the cameras, create good theatre, and negotiate selfishly.

Too many members of the U.N. benefit from the status quo and won't make decisions for purely altruistic reasons.

No one really disagrees that all of humanity has a responsibility to protect fellow citizens in a time of need.

Richard Grenell Quotes
