The western military alliance of [[NATO]] began in 1949 and played a much greater role in US foreign policy commitments and decisions during the [[Cold War]] than the UN ever did. The one exception was the [[Korean War]], which was fought under UN auspices since the Soviet Union was boycotting the UN in 1950.

Originally designed to institutionalize the military alliance that emerged as victors in World War II, the U.N. has shown no inclination to reform itself. It's governing Security Council controlled by the victorious powers bares scant resemblance to the demographic shifts which have occurred since 1945. For example, the [[European Union]] has two votes, while [[India]] and the [[Muslim]] world remain unrepresented. Its supposed democratic underpinnings take no account of cultural differences; [[Shariah law]] for example, forbids the two billion Muslims of the planet from forging alliances with non-believers or participating in legislative councils. Under [[Koran]]ic theory, all law comes from [[Allah]], and man made law, such as the United nations Charter, is strictly forbidden.
