I'll be writing my congressman, Dennis Cardoza, about this bill, but I have a funny feeling that he uses the delete button as much as his predecessor Gary Condit did.

[CyberAnt]

Put a "for sale" sign out front - they're done!!!

[thinktwice]

Let us all hope that the UN day of the dictator, and the utopian UN farce known as "One World" dictatorial government, is over.

[Texas_Jarhead]

now is the time for this Bill

In the future I doubt it could garner more support than it can right now

[FairOpinion]

Burial.

"RIP UN, NATO, EU"

[Mihalis]

If he uses delete on you, send a letter to your local paper.

[Mihalis]

..."RIP UN, NATO, EU"...

I'd rather see them stay in place. I don't want to lose my daily humor.

[Commander8]

That's a great way to contact elected officials, open letters to them in the newspaper.

What's next for the U.N.?

Oblivion

[Jhoffa_]

I see no reason for us to be involved in the UN.

But, if we pull out there's the possibility that others will rush to fill the power vacuum.. It could wind up as a large scale version of the ICC with a standing army, given time.

Feelings aside (as I hate the UN completely) Is it beneficial to pull out now, lose our veto on the Security Council and allow someone else (or possibly a group of "someone else’s") to fill this power vacuum and further mold the UN to their liking?

What would the ramifications of such an act be 5 or 10 years from now? What will the others do in our absence?

Threat assessment anyone?

[Poohbah]

Threat assessment:

The UN is VERY unlikely to develop a standing army. If it does, it is unlikely to pose a threat to US interests.

If it poses a threat to US interests, we will simply brush it aside with a minimum of fuss.

Guerilla warfare would not be applicable in such a situation--because, when you get down to it, no one is willing to die for that stupid blue flag and Kofi Annan.

[Jhoffa_]

..no one is willing to die for that stupid blue flag and Kofi Annan...

Hard to argue with that. I know I wouldn't sacrifice a 2 day old pizza for the sake of their Blue Flag, let alone a human life.

ANY human life.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Hmm...this is the only good argument for staying in the UN...that we still have our veto in the Security Council. This has been mentioned by Bob Dornan and others

Though....would the UN work to remove our veto? And, they ignored Iraq and Saddam for so long...whats to stop them from ignoring any US veto?

Its time to get out of the UN. The UN and its members have no power or will to stop the US anyway. The US exit from the UN would make totally un-credible even more.

What I would like to see....is legislation that will allow the US to try internationals for war crimes against the US...tried in US courts, not the ICC or other World Courts

[Poohbah]

Though....would the UN work to remove our veto? And, they ignored Iraq and Saddam for so long...whats to stop them from ignoring any US veto?

Only the knowledge that the full wrath of the United States will fall on the UN and the nations that announced that they were overruling a US veto.

Of course, having been raised by Mama Poohbah to be nobody's fool, I sure as f*** would not willingly annoy the US.

[caisson71]

What's next for the UN? Fill Dirt.

[Jhoffa_]

I'm not really trying to put forth an argument to remain there..

What I am actually looking for is the long view of what would happen if we just flat withdrew. Today, right now.

Who is going to fill this vacuum, how much success would they have, how would it be minifested and what would the UN look like in 5 or 10 years?

Would it collapse? Or become a powerful, destructive instrument of some nation or coalition of nations (to a greater degree than it has already, I know.)

Its more of a hypothetical than an argument to remain, as I hate the UN and always have.

[zbogwan2]

It's time to let the UN fade away.

Let's just place a huge punch bowl filled with a Jim Jones concoction of Cool Aid at a UN Meeting, with a sign attached saying: "French Elixir of Life".

After all the beurocrats have imbibed, then the US and its allies can move on to bigger a better accomplishments in the real world.

[AFreeBird]

The Following cannot be repeated enough, or loud enough!

Despite the anti-American rhetoric that has, and will continue to spew forth from the Arab press, and much of the liberal press in the U.S., the United States should not trust the U.N. with any important mission. The U.N. has demonstrated its anti-American bias, its inefficiency, indeed, its corruption in many areas, and its inability, or unwillingness, to enforce its own resolutions.

As for this one; all I can say is: Amen & Damn Straight!

The United Nations' vision of creating world peace through world law, judged by a world court, enforced by a world army – has failed. It has failed because Americans are not willing to surrender their freedom and sovereignty to a world government.

[EggsAckley]

Yes, and along with it the POS called Agenda 21.
