Is the UN anti American?
I can't help but beleive that the UN only wants the US to pay for refurbishing offices. I think that Koffi Annan is wanting set himself up as President of the world.
The UN has a long history of mismangement aid programs and also seems to be anti Isreal which is an member nation.

Koffi is gettng ready to step down. I also do believe that the UN is anti-American as well as anti-semitic. They do not like us because we do not conform to their agend and we support Israel.

If we with hold our money for a couple of years, they would quickly like us, I would bet money on it.

well once Koffi steps down, more than likely he will be replaced by someone with similiar ideas. |

Somebody has to take charge. Those pansies at the UN can't go to the restroom without a resolution. All they do is talk and talk. What is the saying "If you can't walk the walk don't talk the talk" If the UN can not even enforce their own resolutions then who needs them. I think the US would be better off leaving the UN anyway. That would solve both problems. |

They should kick us out then. We'll gladly take our money with us.

The US financial support of the UN:
22% of regular budget
27% of peacekeeping forces
25% of costs of criminal tribunals in Rwanda and the former Yugolslavia
About the 1.2 billion dollar loan to upgrade the UN building which was referred to above - the US is responsible for paying back 22% of the loan that we gave with interest.

Tell me why we need the UN anyway. As long as Russia and China on the security counsel, all we get is more talk and no action. |
