US to leave the UN?

[ShakeZula06]

Most of those that want to leave the UN are upset because the UN had the gall to disagree with the US invading Iraq. Some might be because of the Mike New situation. But Almost everyone against the UN are against it because they think the American government knows best in every circumstance. They are also (legitameantly) scared of internationalism, which is the only reason I'm against the UN and other world bodies.

Internationalism is a political movement which advocates a greater economic and political cooperation between nations for the benefit of all. In today's world, Internationalism is most commonly expressed as an appreciation for the diverse cultures in the world, and a desire for world peace.

While internationalism in the cosmopolitanist context by definition implies cooperation among nations, and therefore the existence of nations, nationalism may focus purely on self-determination, and ignore other nations. When conflicts arise, however, ideological attacks upon the identity and legitimacy of the 'enemy' nationalism may become the focus.

The stated aims of the United Nations are to prevent war, to safeguard human rights, to provide a mechanism for international law, and to promote social and economic progress, improve living standards and fight diseases. It gives the opportunity for countries to balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems.
