"Attacking the UN in America is a little like attacking the monarchy in England, we know it is only for show, internally corrupt, very expensive, and widely admired. But there is a general sense that if it did not exist we should have to invent the institution again."

But we must keep trying. Educating our fellow citizens and changing attitudes one person at a time if we have to.

"Most Americans are unaware that their precious sovereignty is leeching away..."

Even as we speak: The U.S. Senate will be voting next spring on yet another dangerous entangling alliance (the so-called "Free Trade Area of the Americas" that will effectively create in our own hemisphere a regional government similar to the European Union, only without the loopholes.It is not about "free trade", nor even trade at all, so much as creating new laws that will subvert our national sovreignty to an unaccountable international bureauocracy.This has been promoted by the One-Worlders as another step in placing the entire world under the control of the U.N. eventually.

Let's all work to stop this travesty before it is too late!Check it out here

Please Dear Lord we can get the US the Hell out of the UN and the UN the Hell out of the US??!!!!!

Amen. But alas, I just don't see that ever happening.

Gee, wouldn't another Civil War, between those who want to maintain US national sovereignty and those who would surrender it to the UN, be a bad thing...

One more time:

U.N. out of the U.S.

U.S. out of the U.N.

Now, thanks to assorted studies and leaked lists, it is possible with a little cross-referencing to discover that the supplier was a Russian state company, Technopromexport, and the contract was for "mechanical equipment," sold to Iraq for $1,475,261. The question remains: Why should this have been a U.N. secret?

elect more Ron Paul's to office. My senator, Norm Coleman,
tells me the UN is too important for us(US) to pull out of.
That's where being a "moderate" gets you:oil for food scandals,US giving up more and more sovereignty,etc)
...more go along to get along.

Upon Bush's re-election, I hope that one of his first pronouncements, is to call on Kofi Annan to resign from the U.N., and declaring that the U.S. will withhold any and all funds to the U.N.,

Are you talking about George W Bush? The current president? The president who has yet to veto anything or replace anyone?
