What a fiasco. Anyone could have predicted this would become a circus. Way to go, Community Organizer In Chief.

The even bigger problem is this is probably how Barry wants it to go. I'm increasingly convinced his strategy to get Iran to cancel it's nuke program is to offer Israeli disarmament in trade.

Half of every graduating class, graduates at the bottom - those people go into politics.

In foreign lands it generally worse on how they get there.

The worlds leaders today are actually the worlds worst.

New York Rep. Steve Israel called for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel “to be wiped off the map,” to be arrested and tried for "incitement to genocide.” Rep. Israel stated, "Incitement to genocide is a punishable act and instead of giving him another platform at the U.N., he should be tried

Rep Israel is correct, incitement to genocide is a crime under the genocide treaty, to which we're a party. US law. So while an international tribunal would be preferable, Ahmadinejad could be tried in the US, I understand that would never happen. And Iran should be expelled from the UN for advocating the destruction of a member state, a violation of the charter.

Lacking these straightforward enforcement actions, the US should at least recognize the UN is nothing more than a big frat party, and reduce our contributions to an equitable level based on population. I know lots of folk will say we should leave, but our politicians need somewhere to strut just like Ahmadinejad does.

The United States, Britain and France led a walkout on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the U.N. nuclear non-proliferation conference Monday as he accused countries with nuclear weapons of threatening those without them. "How can the United States be a member of the board of governors when it used nuclear weapons against Japan," he said. New York Rep. Steve Israel called for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel "to be wiped off the map," to be arrested and tried for "incitement to genocide.” Rep. Israel stated, "Incitement to genocide is a punishable act and instead of giving him another platform at the U.N., he should be tried."
There's nothing wrong with Ahmadinejad that couldn't be cured with a grenade and a funnel.
