Assuming arguendo that the United Nations is actually an effective organization, it’s still pernicious.  The underlying theory that the UN is built upon is that the world can achieve peace, security and prosperity through unified world government; however, that logic completely contradicts the principle of separation of powers.  In America, the way that separate, but equal branches of government check and balance each other is one of the greatest strengths of our system of government.  The checks and balances in our system of government are quite effective at preventing any faction of the government from gaining absolute power and behaving tyrannically.  By unifying national governments, the UN takes a large step towards abolishing the separation of powers that truly creates peace, security, and prosperity.  EWJ
