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.

I can't be series about the UN.

[beyond the sea]

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.

[Ohioan from Florida]

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.

[Sans-Culotte]

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.

[SolutionsOnly]

Bah, Humbug.

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?

"An American taxpayer who foots 22 percent of the regular budget of the United Nations, which has an annual budget of approximately $1.5 billion, has to begin asking some very difficult questions," Bayefsky told CNSNews.com

LIke when do we stop?

[Jim Noble]

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

BFD.

Wrong headline. Should read:

America, Israel Should Seriously Take UN Out To Woodshed

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Anybody really knowledgeable with Six Sigma or other Quality Control rubrics? We could have one terrific time viewing an UN-productivity analysis....

[CDB]

The League of Nations was a failure, too. The UN is both a horrible waste of money, and a horrible platform for corrupt losers. Not even to mention irrelevant.

We don't need to waste any more of our resources to prop up the likes of Kofi and his pals.

America, Israel Should Take UN Seriously, Expert Says

I think it should be the other way around.

Seem's like given them far more credibility than they deserve.

[uncbob]

When we tell the UN we are GONE and they have a month to get the hell out of the USA then I will know there might just be hope on the international scene

[ken21]

"However unjustifiable, many believe that the United Nations is the moral conscience of the majority of nations in the inhabitants of the global village, and according to the U.N., Israel is the archetypical violator in the world today," Bayefsky said. "The combination is literally lethal."

whatta joke.

how can a corrupt and evil org be the "moral conscience of the majority of nations"?

Kofi Annan: The UN is Important! From now on that will be our motto.

Sign in front of the UN: UNIMPORTANT!
