Let the U.N. die

For more than a half-century, the United States has invested untold billions of hard-earned dollars in the United Nations. Once, there was a hope that the sprawling bureaucracy could be a forum where nations hammer out solutions to the world's problems, instead of resorting to war. That hope became a fantasy many years ago. Between bureaucratic inertia, and political posturing, the U.N. has become a bottomless pit, where good money chases bad. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.N.'s highest priority appears to be to contain, constrain, and ultimately, to control the United States.

Germany, aided by France and Russia, has been at the forefront of this effort for more than a decade. Their current display of solidarity on Iraq, and NATO, is far more public than normal, which suggests that they believe they now have the power to force the United States to conform to their demands.

Willy Brandt, then-Chancellor of Germany, called an emergency meeting of the world's socialist leaders in 1991, when George Bush Sr. stood up to Saddam Hussein. Out of this meeting came the Commission on Global Governance, which produced a blueprint for creating world government. That blueprint has now been substantially implemented, and the one-worlders believe they have the power to force the U.S. to acquiesce to their will.

Unlike, the Clinton administration, which supported the global governance agenda, the Bush administration has tried valiantly to keep the U.S. out of the clutches of the one-worlders, while still working within the framework of the United Nations. The selection of Lybia to head the Human Rights Commission; the selection of Iraq to head the Disarmament talks; and, now, France and Germany's determination to continue the U.N.'s 12-year "rush" to war, and their refusal to allow NATO to plan for Turkey's defense should convince even Congressional Democrats that the U.N. is a lost cause.

America's role and responsibility to the world is neither to fund, nor to conform to the wishes of the United Nations. The first responsibility of the American government is to protect U.S. citizens and to defend the U.S. Constitution. Acquiescence to the U.N.'s global governance plan would subject U.S. citizens to policies imposed by unelected bureaucrats in foreign countries, enforced by judges chosen by the very people who seek to control the United States.

It's time to let the U.N. die.

Ironically, the U.N. could not have possibly reached this stage of global governance without the financial and political support of the United States. If the United States were to stop funding this monster, it would die of starvation. To be sure, the world's socialists would close ranks and try to consolidate their global power. They could, and likely would, impose sanctions on the U.S., forcing a direct confrontation between capitalism and socialism. No contest.

Withdrawal from the U.N. is not withdrawal from the world, nor should it be. President Bush's "coalition of the willing" consists of at least 18 nations that have made a public commitment to participate against Iraq, with or without the U.N. Still, Sen. Carl Levin, among others, contend that action against Iraq without U.N. approval is "unilateral" action. This idea that the U.N. must legitimize U.S. foreign policy is to deny the concept of national sovereignty.

There are many people in America who have been taught that global governance, administered by the U.N., is the next plateau in the evolution of governance, and that failure to acquiesce to the inevitable is irresponsible. This idea is the result of a half-century of careful indoctrination by the National Education Association, UNESCO, the U.N. Association, the World Federalist Society, and a host of other one-world advocates. To those who subscribe to this point of view, the U.S. Constitution is obsolete; national sovereignty is outdated, and individual freedom must be suppressed for the greater collective good of society.

The decisions made by the United States government in the next days or weeks could well determine the future of the United States for generations. If the United States bows to the will of the U.N., America – the land of the free and the home of the brave – will be history. On the other hand, if the U.S. exercises its national sovereignty and moral authority to protect its citizens, and the U.S. Constitution – despite the objections of France, Germany, and Russia – we could see the beginning of a new era of freedom in the United States, and throughout the world.

It's the right thing to do, and it will stop Bill Clinton from the job he wants the most, that is to be the U.N. leader and head.

Putting the UN in charge of weapons inspections is as productive and responsible as having Bill Clinton share a motel room with your over-developed teenage daughter.

There will still be a UN even without the U.S., but it will be a club of the has-beens, the gimmes and the wannabes. In other words, total irrelevant. Just like Clinton.

Those born in freedom are born to die;
as those born in bondage are born to die.
A few fight for freedom;
need one ask why?

The U.N. is doing what it was meant to: prevent brute force fights between nations, from starting.

However, the U.N. is in addition, a model of committee un-productivity which is the taxing, ball - and - chain of world-wide university; wherein the burden of paperwork and studies are great, yet no work is done.

One finds this welfare program for the productivity-impaired, at university around the globe, which keeps/supports the otherwise un-supportable, said doctors of inertia and their beneficiaries (read: U. of C. Berkeley hippie-dippie - now - print shop owners and recipients of cash awards from the multitude of amendments to bills in the Congress ... in other words, keeping the un-employable employed at the propagandic engines of socialism).

He can't get it anyway, since he's a citizen of one of the Permanent Members of the Security Council.

HE has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

Cut and pasted from the Declaration of Independence.

Let the UN live, but only as what it is: a powerless debating society. It must be publicly brought down to that and it must stay down. The UN must become a place the US holds global court on the USA's terms.

The USA should use it as a tool. The europeans are celebrating right now because they believe the USA was slapped into submission by the global community. They don't believe the US would DARE to defy the french/germans/russians/chinese/un.

I hope and pray we do something/anything to show them the USA is a superpower (or in their words Ultra Power)

The United Nations is what the U.S.Congress would be if there were no House of Representatives and instead only a Senate with its 2 Senators from each state, no matter how populous or wealthy. Then you would have a legislative body in which Rhode Island would have as much power and voice in the running of the government as California, Montana would have as much power as New York, Alaska would have as much power as Florida. Sooner or later the smaller, less populous states would join together and impose their will on the larger states while at the same time expecting the majority of the capital required to run our government to come from these larger states. Now ask yourself, what would the citizens of California or Texas or Illinois do to maintain control over their own state if such a situation were to occur? Why wouldn't and shouldn't the United States, for the same reason, consider withdrawal from the UN to preserve its own survival and continued sovereignty?
