it is over 150 members, only about 5 countires have any real power.
Did you even complete my homework assigment? Errr, im gonna have to hold you back.
here,

now find out how much money the other countires give, and get back to me.
Cant do much if you dont have the money.
edit: oh, and not only does the goverment gives money, but american citizens also, e.g. ted turner.
and notice this stat:Humanitarian/Human Rights - 39%
And the UN didnt agree to shit if you've been paying attention to the news, not 1 UN solider set foot in this iraq war yet.
as you already know, US doesnt need the UN's approval for starting a war. hell, the president doesnt even need congress' approval for starting a war.
US can simply cut funding and maybe kick them out of new york, but they dont, because the UN does more than just "keeping the peace" be.
They need them to keep peace when, hopefully, US troops pull out.
