| Call it UN-BRIBE by Claudia Rossett So, while the U.S. Treasury is trying to tighten sanctions on Burma's thug government, the United Nations has been busy funneling millions of dollars to the Burmese regime -- thanks to a classic artificial foreign-exchange rate dodge, which the UN finally acknowledged in public only after weeks of questioning by Inner-City Press (see post below). |

| #3 ...B-B-But, even with all this corruption, SOME money gets through! And surely, that is a noble goal! Dismantling the UN is no solution, pump enough money into it and it will still run! -Typical Obamacrats |

| #2 Just cut funding to the UN now. Throw it out of NY and the US, suggest they relocate in Berne. Its simply a club for petty dictators nad totalitarians to get coddled in. Look at Zimbabwe, and Burma, etc. |

| #1 Just reading about the UN makes the blood boil. I'm really glad that the US floats a full half of the money for this broken setup. What do we get out of the deal anyway? |
