Maybe the UN could pass a resolution, refusing to recognise the Afghan state until free democratic elections are carried out? I don't see why Karzai sees the need to cheat - he'd have won anyway!
Yes they could, or we could refuse to recognise the Afghan state until free democratic elections on this board. And it would mean about the same to some people including me.
Maybe, but the UN is very important in the Middle East.
It is important in the middle east until the UN tries telling them to do or not do something. Then they have a different reaction.
There was discussion over a possibility that all nuclear technology be put in the hands of the IAEA or some such agency and countries have to apply for their provision of fissile materials etc only for peaceful purposes. This would be under the control of this international body. As far as i'm aware, only one nation actively supported it (though South America and Australasia generally passively supported it. Europe was in passive support. Israel and the US voted against. The US vetoed the resolution.
(This is quite a common chain of events in the UN, by the way)

I thought it was tradition to ignore the UN. We need to put them out of that building and put it to better use in my opinion.
Maybe a pet hospital.

A pet hospital! Haha.
One reason they seem so useless is that the most powerful country in the world undermines every other decision.
Another reason it seems so pathetic and devoid of worth is because it is.
It has potential, I suppose, though. It would be more effective if it had its own military forces as was presume and inteded in the beginning. I'm not, of course, suggesting that we necessarily should.
Excellent point, and withholds payment of dues on a regular basis. I still can't understand why the UN HQ needs to be in the United States? Especially when the United States feels the way it does about the UN. either that or completely disband it. Much better to have no UN than the pretense of one, such as we saw the consequences off in Rwanda with mass slaughtering of people while the UN was "observing".
