"Let Leave the U.N. and Move to Kookville!"
There was a time when, if you wrote or spoke out against the United Nations, you would be dismissed as some right-wing kook, a nutcase who saw conspiracies or was some kind of isolationist who didn't understand the need for an international forum where the problems of the world could be resolved without resort to warfare.
Well, friend, welcome to Kookville! Turns out that the United Nations is not simply incapable of stopping wars and genocides, it is so utterly corrupt that it needs to be eliminated entirely in the hope that the many other existing international organizations, treaties, unilateral and bilateral relations can be allowed to do what the United Nations itself will not and cannot do. Hopefully, 2005 will be the year that historians mark as the one in which this bloated international criminal conspiracy imploded from its own dead weight.
This is not a new thought for me, but it resurfaced as I read an October 9 news article about "a tough new anti-terrorism resolution aimed at stemming attacks on civilians by denying terrorists safe havens, weapons, financial resources, and freedom of movement." Introduced by the Russian Federation, it was unanimously passed by the UN Security Council. It was described as strengthening the "essential coordinating role of the United Nations in the international campaign against the terrorist threat."
