The United Nations...with, you know, spirt fingers and stuff

1) The United Nations Charter was about maintaining international peace by ensuring that there was no more war and that all problems were taken care of in a thoughtful and safe way. It was also made to make certain that everyone everywhere was treated equally and fairly.

2) Basically, the Charter said the same thing in big words over and over again: peace good, fighting bad. Everything the United Nations wrote was pristine and careful. They wrote around the same point repeatedly to make sure that there were no loopholes, making for an incredibly repetitive read. What I found the most interesting was the bit about the Security Council. I found it very, well, thought-provoking (thank you thesaurus) that they only five countries that were permanently on the council were the Allies and China. Isn't the United Nations supposed to be neutral with the soul goal of making international peace. Because that was what they had been saying for the past three pages. Anyway, the choosing of the five countries seems incredibly biased to me. Was the United Nations trying to punish Germany and Japan? That would be understandable of course, but the United Nations Security Council doesn't seem like the most politically correct place to make a statement, especially such a political statement as that would be. But in the end, the UN just wanted to make sure that wars were prevented, and everything was taken care of peacefully. And if there were problems, those problems needed to be solved in a manner that would not disturb the peace world wide. Honestly, the said the word peace like 70 times.

3) I don't see any major problems, other than the fact that the five allied countries were singled out and the rest of the world had to try to get on the Security Council. That doesn't really seem fair. What makes those five countries better for security than the others? The fact that they have more war experience doesn't exactly make them better. A balanced council would have all different types of countries with all different types of security backgrounds. And besides, hadn't China just been invaded by Japan? Because that would pretty much be a security fail, which doesn't really help international security matters.

But seriously. If I see the term international peace one more time...
