We all know the UN is a failed body- That many of the body's actions for peace and for good are blocked by rogue nations and two bit third world countries. That China, a brutal communist regime has the same power as democratic nations like the US and the UK. That weasels with no backbones like the French have the same level of power as well.
That rogue nations like Syria and Sudan get positions that rule over human rights. That the US, a democratic nation full of freedom was kicked off the human rights commission.
That the body refused to live up to its charter and failed to do its duty in demanding Saddam Hussein completely rid himself of WMD and prove this in full. That this body also failed in regards to demanding a thugocracy like North Korea not seek and build nuclear weapons. That they failed in regards to Iran in a similar fashion.
That the top levels in the body have been corrupted by the oil-for-food scandal. That the Sec General has been corrupted to the point where top UN staffers have made it official they have no confidence in him and nearly voted to officially pronounce this.
That the UN, bound by its charter to fight for peace, and failed to do so in regards to Iraq, was wrong when that same Sec General attacked the US, the UK, and other nations for what he called an "illegal war,' despite the fact that the body he chairs demanded full compliance by the nation of Iraq and promised "serious consequences" if this didn't occur.
That members of this body, including France, Germany, and Russia are in violation of the charter via illegal deals with Hussein's regime, as well as illegal, and ultimately perilous, arms deals with numerous rogue nations such as syria, Iran, North Korea, and others.
Knowing this...and knowing we must take very tough action with this failed and miserably corrupt wordl body, the democrats have failed. In their determination to defeat the nomination of a touch UN critic like John Bolton, a man who would perfect for the job for the mere fact that the UN IS corrupt, that the UN, in it's entire role, HAS failed...that the UN NEEDS to be changed.
The democrats can't see, or refuse to see that...and that might be the scariest fact of all.
