Fred, there is no way that I can or will defend the U.N.
I believe in DIRECT aid - from our/my hand to the hand of the needy. I believe in no Mr.In-betweens and no tiers of parasitical international bureaucracies, e.g. the U.N.
Think about what WE the U.S. could accomplish with the down-the-drain dollars wasted by the U.N. (and prez. campaign billions)
I do worry about a stalemate in the development and stability in third world countries. Second rate countries like France represent avarice Mr.in-betweens who benefit MORE from the U.N.'s duplicitous schemes and collusion than any third world nations have.
I hold the UN and Mr. Annan, as well as "liberal" anti-America Americans, accountable for vilifying America and Americans throughout the world - on our dime.
I resent the very presence in the U.S. of the U.N. whose members are a silk-suited self-appointed aristocracy given to meetings, reports and covert collusive cabals.
I could rant on...
I agree with every word. Rant on all you want. I equate the UN with the creeping mould that is islam.
