Well, the first reason that comes off the top of my head is the UN Security Council could do real damage to us and our friends, like Israel.  Raise an Army, for example.  We need that veto to keep that from happening, because we've needed to use it before.

There's more than one way to skin the U.N.
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.
