I don't think anyone in the Bush administration is taking bribes or any other improper payments from the UN. But I do think they are guilty of shirking fights that should be fought, to clean up the UN or get out.

Getting out isn't an option for if we were to get out we would lose ALL voice in the UN.

As a standing member of the founders of the UN our only option to be rid of the corruption and mayhem in the UN is to better our inside forces. This has been done with the appointment of John Bolton.

Leaving the UN to their corruption without influence would only increase the cause for concern for us as a nation.

Nonsense. If the U.S. pulled out of the U.N., the U.N. would collapse within a year due to loss of our ridiculously ample "dues" to their terrorist love-fest.

The sooner we exit the U.N. and relocate them to Gaza (so they can snuggle up with the very terrorists they adore so much) the better off we'll all be.

There comes a point, though, where the UN proves itself unreformable. And, at that point, the world would be better off if we withdrew.

Without the financial support of the U.S., the UN shrivels. And without U.S. involvement, many countries would have to reconsider their own position. Especially, if we took the opportunity to form a separate structure limited solely to those countries which practiced democracy, for example.

In my view, we are fast approaching that point.
