If the U.N. were not so utterly corrupt and inept maybe more people would take it seriously. By any rational human can only look at the U.N as a large waste of time and money.

Why should we take seriously any political organization that treats dictatorships the same as democracies?

The United States...........should rethink its relations with the world body

Yeh, we should get the hell out of it.

In the meantime I'll think of Catherine Zeta Jones' body.

Since we foot almost a quarter of the annual U.N. bill in exchange for being spat on, perhaps the bloated bureaucrats in their NY headquarters should start taking America seriously. Who benefits? Not us.

When the rest of the world begins to take the UN seriesly, maybe we will, too. Right now they're just a bunch of pompous wind-bags.

It's a confusing article. If he is saying we should rethink the wasted money that is funding it, then I agree, we should get serious. It's like a bad investment that needs to be sold before we lose more.

I believe the operative idea would be to withhold further funding until they get their "Shi'ite" together

We had withheld their funding for years until W. BJ. Clinton paid all of our dues up in the first year of his first term. Once they got the money, everything went straight back to he!! (and then some).

Each Nov. 29, the U.N. marks the day that it partitioned British Mandatory Palestine into two areas -- a Jewish state and an Arab state -- as an international day of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

1. November 29 is also the anniversary of the infamous "Zionism is Racism" resolution (1975). I'm sure that there was no coincidence in the scheduling of that vote 29 years ago.

2. There is NO Palestinian people. There was NEVER a country by the name of Palestine, there was NO mention of a "Paletinian people" prior to the existence of Israel, there was NEVER an Arab country which used Jerusalem as its capital, and there was NEVER a demand that Jordan return the "West Bank" to the "Palestinian people" from 1948-June 1967.

The UN and the thuggish, corrupt dictatorships that compose the vast majority of its members can engage in coitus with themselves. The US has no interest in being there, not when the sole purpose of the organization seems to be in tearing down the US and everything it stands for. Megadittoes for Israel. What does it matter if your voice is heard, if no one is listening?

I think that's exactly what the author is saying.

many believe that the United Nations is the moral conscience of the majority of nations in the inhabitants of the global village
