The UN - Morally Bankrupt and Neutered?
I have as yet to begin The Tower of Babble; but there were two articles in The Washington Times about the United Nations and "Coffee-cup" Annan. The articles are respectively: "Americans losing faith in U.N., survey finds"; and an editorial - "U.N. comeback?"
Let's dispense with the second one first. Essentially, the editorial addresses Kofi Annan (How much longer will we have to deal with this master of negotiations?) and his lead in "ending the 34-day Lebanon-Israel war". I seem to have been misinformed. I was under the impression that the war was between Hezbollah and Israel with Lebanon taking no part in the hostilities except of course for staying out of it all. Good planning, that.
The U.N. is ineffectual, held together only by the money of the United States and other Western nations, and has degenerated into a hate-America (and Israel) first club which vies with the American Left to see who can hate America the more vociferously.
To point to the ineffectual and neutered position of the U.N.'s Secretary General, the Supreme Leader of Iran - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - would not even meet with him. Give Kofi his gold watch, his certificate of accomplishment, and send him off. The sooner the better.
The good news is the first article: Americans losing faith in the U.N..... The subtitle reads: Support grows for cutting world body's U.S. taxpayer funding. Yippee!
"Nearly three-quarters of the American people think the United Nations is no longer effective and could support cutting U.S. contributions to the world body....
The U.N. has degenerated into an America-bashing cliche. And Americans should not be forced to continue to subsidize it with our tax dollars. The U.N. is a hate-filled assemblage concentrating their hatred on the U.S. and Israel.
.....sorry cut to fit
The war that has been brought to the West will be fought sooner or later. We should tell the U.N. to step aside, pull the moving vans up to the U.N. loading docks, and move 'em out.
Appeasement has never worked. It will not work now. Eunichs have never held much power; they are used and controlled by more focused powers. No one in a long time has been as vocal and as focused at the Islamic Imperialists. Call the U.N. what it is - a so-so idea whose time has passed due to its own little white-laced handkerchief-wringing approach-avoidance behavior. End it; you can't mend it.
and not only in Lebanon,same holds good for Gaza as well!
UN is a joke since its funding comes from which countries?
What I wonder about is:
How come some wealthy Muslims countries do not support the Palestinians the way USA has supported Israel?
Would you care for Palestinians children, women and men that are just civilians?
