Convert UN Headquarters to Ritzy Condos
Monday, July 31st, 2006How useless of an organization is the United Nations? I know we’re behind on our dues, but I think we should stop payment on the checks we’ve already sent.
First, we’ve got it’s man in charge, Kofi Annan, blaming Israel for the murders and kidnappings of Israeli soldiers by Hizbollah. Then the UN Security Council considers -Â but thanks to the US veto -Â does not pass a resolution condemning Israel’s “disproportionate” response.
Okay.. what is a disproportionate response? This fight was started by Hizbollah. Let’s travel back 65 years or so to a time when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Did we issue a response only proportionate to what they did to us and then stop? No. We unleashed a fury on Japan that culminated with major cities in ruins and its army completely decimated. It is important to respond not just in kind - as those pantywaists in the UN expect - but to destroy the enemy’s capability to wage war in the future.
If Israel caves to outside pressure in its dealings with this organization (and Hamas for that matter), it will never have a true peace with its neighbors. Thanks to the UN’s flacid johnson, it is only a matter or time before Israel’s terrorist neighbors obtain nuclear weapons and completely screw the delicate balance of power that exists. Quite simply put, if they have nukes, they’ll use them.
And I must be psychic. The UN Security Council - under threat of Russian and Chinese veto - passed the most weakly worded resolution concerning Iran that isn’t worth the paper it was printed on to wipe my backside. Under the resolution, Iran now has until August 31st to suspend unranium enrichment or face the threat of… another Security Council meeting to discuss what to do about Iran. I’m sure they’re shaking in their boots…
And don’t get me started on the waste of space called the General Assembly…
In other news, the New York Times has endorsed the candidacy of Ned Lamont in the Connecticut Democratic primary over incument - Â and former VP Candidate - Joe Lieberman. Lamont is using our entry into the Iraq war as his sole issue in the fight with Lieberman. Connecticut voters had better WAKE UP and realize that if they follow the Time’s lead, they’re about to make a HUGE mistake.
