The United Nations in its infancy was a great concept. It made discussion on an equal level between rival countries possible. The UN was supposed to create a forum for any member nation to settle quarrels in a passive and democratic way with all member nations getting a vote to a peaceful resolution. So far in 60+ years it has just been a quagmire of political hoo-rah, and a hiding place for the REAL criminals of the world.

Of the 160+ member nations , only 50 or so are democracies (their leaders are voted in to an office). Does that equal 3 to 1 odds against the democratic way?? As an American it is hard to compare the USA, England & Austrailia to Iraq ,Iran all the “stan” countries China and all the others( with such horrible human rights issues).

The political structure of the USA only really commits to 2 parties , Republican ,or Democrat with most of the country being middle of the road. Most lean one way or the other on a single issue (abortion, religion, gay marriage, etc). ALL of the US should be leaning tword getting us out of the UN. The United States carries MOST of the financial burden for the UN. We pay for all of the buildings , we pay most of the incredible salaries, and we take the most crap. When a UN peacekeeping mission is designated, it is the US that is looked to first for that task by way of forces , food and support. The last figure I saw was at least $20Billion of our tax dollars went to UN functions, with some countries making little or no contributions , but still drawing a salary ($150,000+).

Any country can join the UN, and most favor terrorism, genocide, and extremely poor human rights. These countries are supposed to be allied to produce peace in the world. Why are there still several wars going on in the world?? It is because the UN has done nothing to stop them. It would not fit the agenda of 2/3 of the member nations to stop a war that those dictatorships are involved in(FRANCE). The result is that the US has become the “whippin’ boy ” for the world. Terrorists, dictators, anarchists, and pure scumbags have made some 50 countries their bitch. Only a few countries even try to follow UN resolutions. The whole idea of trying to tax the internet is a resolution in the works.

If our president could reach down and pull his head out of Iraq , He would be able to see the cruel irony of the US being a member of the biggest den of liars ,thieves , and murderers in the world. When representatives of some of the worst places in the world are allowed to travel unresticted to The United States of America ,we as citizens lose. These people are given diplomatic immunity, homes, cars and expense accounts. These rights given to them are not extended to taxpayers. The main topic for the UN is how to control the “free” people of the lesser 50 member nations.

All of this being said……… Who is the moron in this case??? The US for staying in??? US citizens for not forcing this issue??? Or was it the founders of the UN for not making the rules of entry a little more strict???

If the Big Dog (USA) left the UN it is almost a surity that other democratic/republic countries would follow.
