This talk of getting out of the U.N. needs to stop.
Sure I hate the U.N. Sure the idea of imploding the U.N. building makes me laugh. But come on people, do we really want Russia, France, China and Great Britian ruling the security council?

We need to stay in the UN and exercise our veto on everything. But we don't need to allow them to operate in our country, and we don't need to foot the bill. And we DO need to reclaim ANY sovereignty that we have surrendered.

I don't think we should "get out of the UN", I think we should create a "League of Free Nations." We could, over time, defer more and more important world decisions to the will of that group and let the UN "wither and die on the vine."

We are the U.N. less special interest groups and sordid nations of the corrupt and unwilling. It was a good idea gone bad and its to late to fix it. Start a new organization dedicated to the destruction of terrorism and depot regimes around the globe. We need to weed out rogue countries from entrance into the coalition to weaken it. Screw China, Russia, and France! They are the problem.

I don't see where that would make any difference at all. Thats assuming that they would even survive without US funds. But really, even with us there, what have they done? Would they be any more effective without the US? I think they'd be even more inefficient, corrupt and incompetent. They get almost nothing done now, so take the US out of the picture and I don't see that changing very much.

You presume there is any relevance to that group.

I don't think you get it. Who cares about the absolutely corrupt security council? It has lost ALL credibility as a result of the food for oil scandal - and it didn't have much credibility to begin with!
