It's Time To Send The UN to Hell ..

“theater of the absurd,”
I write to draw attention to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations today. As Daniel Patrick Moynihan demonstrated once upon a time, there is something especially thrilling about the truth being told in this particular forum (a “theater of the absurd,” in Netanyahu’s reckoning). It happens rarely, but it happened today. Attention should be paid: [Powerline]



And it was here in 1980, right here, that the historic peace agreement between Israel and Egypt wasn’t praised; it was denounced! And it’s here year after year that Israel is unjustly singled out for condemnation. It’s singled out for condemnation more often than all the nations of the world combined. Twenty-one out of the 27 General Assembly resolutions condemn Israel — the one true democracy in the Middle East.

Our Third Order of BusinessWell, this is an unfortunate part of the U.N. institution. It’s the — the theater of the absurd. It doesn’t only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi’s Libya chaired the U.N. Commission on Human Rights; Saddam’s Iraq headed the U.N. Committee on Disarmament.

You might say: That’s the past. Well, here’s what’s happening now — right now, today. Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon now presides over the U.N. Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world’s security. [Full]


All opposed ... ?

President Cain will send the UN away from our shores, and defund it. What other candidates do you think will do that?

Not that I've heard him say he would, but he's the only one I would trust to do it.

I-RIGHT-I said...

I don't trust him.

Skoonj: We have had a lot of politicians promise to boot the UN from our shores. This nonsense has been promised for years.

Notice anything? Right. The UN is still in the US, and the US is still in the UN.

Any promise to get us out of the UN will be about as valid as Ronaldus Amnestius closing down the Dept of Ed. Words. not actions.

Herman Cain never actually said he would send the UN away. I just made that up. But of all the Republican candidates, is there anyone else who would do it? I believe he would.
