Reality, Morality and the United Nations
Fabiana at Foreign Affairs Blog, in critiquing "this post of Andy McCarthy at The Corner argues that:... the U.N. has never been and should never be a morality-based institution. It is and can only be reality-based because it has to deal with reality: an anarchical and asymmetrical world where bad and good states inevitably coexist; if they did not try to get along somehow, war would be a frequent international event. Despite its inherent flaws, reflexive of an imperfect international system, as well as other flaws that can be corrected with reform, the U.N. is as effective as it could be. If it were fundamentally different than it is today or did not exist at all, international relations would be adversely affected."
