It's like when Capone ran the Cicero police department.

It doesn't really matter. It's not like anyone takes the UN seriously. May as well be called League of Nations II.

I see you finally seen the light and finally agree that President Bush orchestrated a brilliant victory for the coalition of the willing back in 2003.

You're confusing wars. You're talking about the one we're hopelessly bogged down in because a certain President whose name will go unmentioned failed to get the backing of the U.N. So the UN is like a bunch of magic beans? Just add the UN to your coalition and everything goes smooth?

On the OP-vid:

The UN-watch guy does make a complete ass of himself.

The whole composition of the vid doesn't make a strong case at all.

The overall impression I get is one of: OMG, the holy state of Israël is being bashed, thus the UN human rights commision is a fraud.

So we have Zimbabwe, Sudan, Syria, Iran, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Palestine, Libya, North Korea, and other dirt bag countries running the commission. What a joke. Where's the US?

These are the countries the US often gets listed with when discussing human rights...

They are fighting with NYC over rent money the city claims is owed.

NEW YORK (AP) — The United Nations and its host city, noted for periodic quarrels over diplomatic deadbeats and parking scofflaws, are involved in another domestic spat — this time over $6 million in rent the city wants for unbuilt office and residential space near the U.N. headquarters.

The UN being evicted by the city of New York would be the ultimate example of how powerless it is. They still have a secondary seat in Switzerland. Also I'm sure Brussels would welcome them.

The Coalition of the Willing was just us, Britain, and the countries we bribed. The UK was bribed as well. Or maybe it was a stick rather than a carrot.

One of the relevant issues being renewal of nuclear deterrents, which the US supplies to the UK at a lower cost than the UK could get on its own.

Pretty much, yeah. I'm not gonna get on a high horse about the HR commission given my country's behavior of late, but it's pretty clearly a joke.

Eh, is the US still behind in it's payments to UN? Why sink money in a bad investment when we already do so much of that thing with regards to so many other money handouts.
