the UN should sponsor a worldwide treaty against the construction of new WMD stockpiles and against the development of new WMD style weapons. all UN nations would sign to it, especially the united states.

I agree. Everyone would sign the treaty. Then ignore it.

Do you know there's laws against littering? People still do it.

Any sovereign nation who treats with the UN, for any reason other than self-defense (for survival, perhaps, although a willingness to compromise principles brings into question the worth of the nation's government in the first place) , turns its back on its own people and abdicates sovereignity in favor of world government.

Government is a system whereby the powerful few dictate to the impotent many, and tell them what they may and may not do. Submission to such government comes at the cost of freedom. It is better when people govern themselves, and only themselves.
