The UN Needs To Go!

The U.N. has once again emphasized the fact that the United States needs to have nothing to do with the organization. The 53-member Commission on Narcotic Drugs — the central policy-making body of the UN on drug-related issues — elected Iran chairman of its next session.

Iran, one of the most extreme and dangerous regimes in the world, already holds three other positions in the UN. Iran is the

1. President of the executive board of the UN Development Program for 2009.
2. President of the executive board of the UN Population Fund for 2009.
3. Vice-chairman of the UN General Assembly’s Committee on Information for 2009-2010.

This new seat was awarded in spite of the fact that there are three UN sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program. So how do they continually to be awarded position of power in decision-making?

The UN is a joke and a threat to democracy and human rights everywhere, regardless of the front they portray before the world. In fact, during the 20070-2008 session, Iran was the vice-chairman of the UN Disarmament Commission that deals with nuclear and conventional arms reduction and non-proliferation. Now that is insanity at its worst.

The UN has its own agenda and it is not in accordance with the commonly held beliefs of the United States. To me that is enough to constitute the withdrawal of the US from the UN and that their headquarters be removed from New York City to a foreign country.

We should move the headquarters to a third world country, sell the real estate, and help reduce the deficit. It's a waste of time and a waste of money.

I agree! I've often wondered why the U.S. continues to be involved with this joke of an organization.

If we stop contributing to the UN and start charging them taxes on the property, remove diplomatic immunity from all, watch how fast they will go. But we won't ... err .. the liberals won't agree to that. So here they stay. More reason to dump the dems.

I've said it for a long time, "The US out of the UN, the UN out of the US" But somewhere I read that the way the land was given to the UN - by the Rockefeller's or somebody, our country CANNOT take it back.

Hillary Clinton follows their lead in gun control as does Obama appointee Harold Koh (legal adviser to the State Department). Koh considers the honoring of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms a stand against a propose "global ban on illicit transfer of small arms and light weapons".

"If we care about human rights", Koh said in a speech, "we have to do something about the guns". The UN believes that "no human being has a right to self-defense". How absurd is this group of people that makes such statements and then coddles and turns a blind eye toward Iran while pretending not to.

We don't have to take back the land, Just STOP funding the UN, cancel their diplomatic immunity and have them pay fair taxes and rents. they'll soon leave on their own.
