This article is of great interest to me, because i've always been interested in the matters that concern the world. The United Nations has supreme importance in our worlds peace. They have done a countless number of things to promote peace in all countries and stepping in when things became close to genocide on some levels. Now, our Republican Lawmakers wish to cut our support of the U.N. budget. Though their reasons seem applicable, that the money could be used HERE instead of across the oceans, it's a very big gamble considering that the U.N. depends on us for their budget, not to mention we are central to their peacekeeping operations. We pay the majority of the budget for the U.N. and it could not afford us cutting our assistance. I believe that we should keep spending the budget, this organization is extremely important for overall global peace and maintaining good relations between the numerous countries around the globe. It is true that it is expensive, but the U.N. may very well be the force that prevents another World War. Can we really take the risk, and perhaps provoke Armagheddon?
