You are right. The UN is a conduit for directing graft and maintaining a corrupt patronage system in third world countries. It's a platform for grievence and greed. Isn't some country like Libya heading the U.N. Human Rights Commission. Weren't we kicked out?

I don't really want to be lectured and shamed by representatives of countries that have fewer flush-toilets than Presidents in exile.

I'm sure that there is some economic benefit to Lower Manhattan businesses that accompany the U.N.'s headquarter location. But, these diplomats are a menace to the natives. They drive like crap, they are cheapskate pigs to women in the bars and restaurants, they are careless parking scofflaws and they stiff their vendors on a regular basis. Think of the delegation from Zimbawe or France out for a night on the town. I'd like to have complete diplomatic immunity one evening while bar hopping.

Let's just relocate the entire operation to Ted Turner's ranch in Montana. Let him clean up the Martini-laden vomit of the Assistant AIDS Education Liasion from Uruguay.

I know this thought is evil beyond excuse, and I am ashamed to even have thought of it but: it crossed my mind, once: "If the Islamic monkees had to hit New York, why couldn't they have hit the U.N. building?" The New York Times HQ building was an acceptable alternative as well. Shame on me.

"Isn't some country like Libya heading the U.N. Human Rights Commission. Weren't we kicked out?"

I know we started the Human Rights Commission. I know we were kicked out. I don't remember what paragon of virtue country we were kicked out in favor OF...I thought it was Sudan or China.

"If the Islamic monkees had to hit New York, why couldn't they have hit the U.N. building?"

Don't be ashamed. I know I wondered the same thing. The answer is that UN resolutions are ENABLING the Islamist terrorists. Whenever they kill too many people, and make the rest of the world really mad, the Islamonazis have ALWAYS screamed for UN protection, as well as citing UN resolutions as justifications for their crimes. I have no idea why more people haven't woken up to a pattern which as been repeated, with increasing frequency as they become bolder, for DECADES.
