I'm sorry, but it's time for the United States to get out of the UN and kick them out of NYC. Kofia Annan has come out to say that the war in Iraq is illegal...not only did the main body within the UN ignore the threat posed by Saddam to his neighbors, and in the end- the world, but they also refused to do anything to remove the killer from power and topple his regime, freeing the Iraqi people. Now, the head of the UN is calling the ousting of a MASS MURDERER illegal. A nation that speaks and then ACTS, unlike much of Europe and most of the big UN members, is not a nation that needs to waste its time with this nonsense. We need to form a legit world body that does not include rogue nations as part of the discussion, and a group that doesn't go to brutal countries like communist China on important issues facing this planet. It's almost funny, but it's way too serious to laugh at.
You'd think the purpose of a world body like the UN would be the cause of freedom around the world, not sitting around doing nothing while a murdering dictator like Saddam Hussein tortures, rapes, and kills his own people. That fact alone tells us that the UN is a joke. Not to mention their constant attacks on Israel- many nations in the UN refuse to even recognize that the nation exists...or the fact that the UN is made up of cruel nations like China- where hundreds are executed everyday for doing what is free and legal and common in most parts of the civilized world.
The time has come to stop relying on the UN. The group has plenty of words on all sorts of topics, but when it comes to action- they're missing in action.
