It's the USA, Not the U.N.

John L. Perry has his head on straight. The only thing he didn't say was "Get the US out of the UN"

[Montfort]

Actually the folks who seem not to get it do get it. They really want to abolish the concept of sovereignty.

Luckily, the UN is organized in such a way that it is unlikely to be accepted as a one-world government. The UN, with countries like Syria and Sudan having roughly equal standing with India, China, The US, and Great Britain, is absurd. And France being a permanent member of the security council (unless I am mistaken) does not improve the sense of it. Countries are not people, and they should not be treated as equal. It is this sort of basic flaw with the UN that helps to make sure that it never becomes a one world government.

Something Terribly Wrong in the U.N.

Get the U S out of the U N
and the U N out of the U S

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Your theory is sound but no matter how their brazen outlandish lies are so apparently exposed; can you explain this?

They are in charge, the U.S. surely seems second to them. A sovereign nation asks nobodies permission in offense or defense, nor should answer to anyone but the laws of their own country.

When I was a kid growing up in New York, we used to go to the UN on school trips, every year. Back then we were all idealistic and starry eyed and thought the UN would mean something. It didn't take much growing up to realize that would never happen and the US was paying for the whole show and getting nothing in return.

It's long overdue for the US to get out of the UN and the UN out of the US. That's valuable property that could be better used and not a drag on NYC.

Sovereignty.

Is it bad that Iraq has flouted all those Security Council resolutions these many years? Of course it is – not because the Security Council has been ignored but because, in the process, Iraq has become a greater and greater threat to American security.Could it be that the United Nations welcomes this threat to the United States, has in fact allowed it to continue in hopes of finally breaking American Sovereignty?

In Perry's reference to a boar hog, my thoughts exactly and that is what our President should infer to this sanctimonious gathering of pampered thugs!

The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World: U.S. Department of State

The United Nations is quite brazen.

In reference to your link - Like any good horror movie, it's the basements of public buildings the inspectors want to check out. Saddam keeps his real horrors out of sight and under human shields.

That and don't you think it is odd that the U.N. has recon/military planes. The article claims "the U.N." has these recon/spy pics. Who exactly did this recon work? NATO? The U.S.? Why was the U.N. listed for this feat?Is it political? Does the U.N. now represent everyone globally (outside of Iraq?) What is going on?

Please post your excellent take on this.

I found this to be insulting to Aardvaarks.

[gitmo]

Which article was referring to these spy pics? And did it say the UN had planes, or did they have pics (from some other source)?

I would think someone would take down one of these planes if it flew over their territory.

Someday, someone is going to declare war on the UN.

We find an interesting parallel from recent events. Before any general speech to the American people our President is giving a speech to the UN general assembly seeking their approval for an attack on Iraq. Any consideration for national sovereignty would demand that more concern should be given to getting the American public informed and their approval before considering the UN.
