United Nations

When will the UN become more useful? How is it that we are to trust this organization when it is made up of nations that are predominantly totalitarian? At what point will the UN troops be as effective in training as the US, so that situations like Somalia won't happen? When is it ok to go into another nation and try to fix it? Has anyone really done that successfully? When is it our Good Samaritan responsibility to go in and help fix horrendous situations; and when are we trying to play God and police the world? I don't see how any nation or people group can be stable without a common adherance to a moral ethos - some sort of commitment to basic right and wrong. And I don't see this happening unless there is a move of the Spirit of God, like the revivals in America in the 1700's. No nation is saved by military might alone, there has to be some sense of decency among the people and a widespread support for integrity in the government and people of any nation.
