"The strengthening alliance with the U.S" has cost us many millions already. To control and dictate world affairs costs a lot of money! But why pay - why be on the council at all? What does NZ gain from all this cost and war involvement? With todays crumbling Europe and faultering U.S and massive debt, homeless, jobless in their own country what has any of this acheived?? Why not scrap the UN? It is just a way to legalise war and diplomatic corruption in other countries!
