Phuk the UN. Time to move the headquarters and start reducing our dues. We’ve never gotten our money’s worth from being in this stupid little global clique club.

How much did this cost the US State Department?
A $1 million grant/bribe? maybe more?
Did the pharmaceutical companies pay off the UN muckity mucks or did the State Dept write some arcane peetty epxnse account check to the UN muckity mucks to get them to make this public statement?

Has the UN made any statements concerning the Amsterdam Coffee Houses? Good point. And as Hawaiian Gecko commented isn't it ironic the leftist lovers of International law get stomped on by International law.
