UN Logic: "We're corrupt because you don't give us enough money."

Here we go. Now the UN is whining about not having enough money to do their jobs properly and without corruption. Bwaaahahahahaha!! Got to give them credit for chutspah, but they must think that the average US politician is both naive and possessed of a 4th grade ability in mathematics. Maybe they should ensure that their own people aren't STEALING the money we send, they'll have plenty left over to do the job.

In my opinion, and that of every other American I've spoken to about this, there is no hope for the UN to reform itself. Kofi "Crime Lord" Annan has too thoroughly destroyed any hope of credibility for the UN through his mismanagement and thievery. I say stop paying ANY money to the UN - dues, fees, donations - everything.

Then, I say withdraw US membership in the UN, and kick them the hell out of Turtle Bay, and out of the country. Let them wither to irrelevancy on someone else's dime.

The US can then start over with a new world body. This time, as leaders of the free world we should limit its membership to true democracies, we can ensure that security council members are truly interested in world security (leaves France, Russia and China out). We can also ensure that human rights violators do not get seated on, much less run, the Human Rights council. We can have ALL finances managed in rotation by large, bonded, accounting firms with constant audit oversight by different firms. We can ensure that UN charities and international aide groups provide charity and international aide, rather than a slush fund for the corrupt poseurs that run them. We can enforce a non-partisan ideology so that UN resources are not made available to Palestinian terrorists. We can ensure proper peacekeeping oversight so that UN troops are not raping young girls and boys and trading on their hunger.

Current reform efforts at the UN are a joke. They don't want reform, they want to look like they're interested in reform while continuing to rob the world blind. They want to first survive the atrocities and corruption of their immediate past by sweeping all accountability under the rug or blaming it on 'cheap' host nations. That idiot in The Netherlands who called the US cheap after the tsunami disaster said that for a reason, and not just for tsunami relief. It's part of the UN's new strategy to dodge responsibility for their misdeeds, while at the same time building up their power over sovereign nations, in particular the US.

The International Criminal Court is their favorite method for this, along with their desire for their own standing army. The UN under current management doesn't give a crap about their original mandate; to provide a worldwide forum for diplomacy as a means to avert war, to assist developing nations, and to provide consensus and alliance against tyranny. For most nations, the UN is nothing but a shady means to make money off the backs of the helpless, poor, and clueless donors and donor nations.

The UN is currently a HUGE insoluable mess. Time to throw it out and start over. The current management and staffing of the UN deserve to be forever after known to history as the criminals who brought down the best hope to limit global warfare, poverty, and hunger ever devised in order to line their own pockets or that of their home countries.

US OUT OF UN, UN OUT OF US!!!! NOW!!

Adios MF,
