Whither the United Nations?


Recommended Posts

Just how much does the US pony up each year to continue participation in the UN? This is an institution that has never approached its primary objective of international cooperation to resolve regional problems. Being a member of the UN makes less sense than continuing to buy Bills tickets. Admittedly, some of the ancillary agencies w/in the UN do address and mitigate some serious world social problems. Just as the Bills make some good plays at some point in each season.

 

What a crowning achievement that there is unanimity among the major powers in issuing a "strong" press release condemning the atrocities in Syria. That coup took only a year.

 

Maybe I'm just old and impatient.

The UN is just as successful as the US dept of energy and dept of education. :wallbash:
