It isn't that easy to institute free markets and rule of law in countries that have never known them. The institutional and civil infrastructure aren't there.

And since most countries in the UN are dictatorships, it's no great surprise that the UN is not friendly towards freedom, democracy, and capitalism. When those things thrive, it is a living rebuke to the squalid gangster regimes that make up most of the UN.

The UN is an organization where Libya is on the Human Rights commission and Iraq was on the WMD limitations commission. What can we really expect?
