I actually agree with you. I think that the day the US and UK invaded Iraq despite the UN, was the beginning of the end. The UN, via Kofi Annan, has declared that the invasion was illegal. And what have they done about it? Nothing. What have they done about the massacres in Darfur? Nothing.

What is the point of an organisation that has no power or will to enforce its rulings?

I am sure that the UN has its uses, but it is no longer a force for world peace. The only thing that the EU might be good for is to act as a counter-balance to US power.
