		<description>Better yet why don&#039;t we, the U.S.A. get out of the u.n. and start a real group of nations that are for peace and prosperity of all nations in kind. ?
United States
Australia
Eastern Block countries
India and any others not run by dictators.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Lord Malloch-Brown is an interesting and very influential creature, a transnational progressive of the first order who can be seen on the world stage here and there, taking turns at bat for the Soros set, papering over massive corruption at the UN and causing and exploiting policy differences between the transnational left and the US.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I strongly disagree. Lord Malloch Brown is so uninteresting that if he were a character in a movie I would scoff at the screenwriter for writing such a one-track, unbeliveable character. The only interesting thing about this scumbag is that his Aunt fell down an elevator shaft before she could implicate him in the Oil-for-Food scandal. Hey, you don&#039;t think he had something to do with it, do you?!</description>

		<description>&quot;What possible benefit could a permanent member gain by ceding its seat that could outweigh the loss of its veto?&quot;

Perhaps the feeling is that the UK will never use its veto independently of the US, and that the US and UK will always have the same foreign policy goals, and that giving up something that is essentially worthless will please the EU. Step two dot dot dot, step three profit.

The last time I recall Britain ever grumbling about a veto was during the Falklands War, when there was the risk that the UN might impose a ceasefire, thus preventing Britain from negotiating a ceasefire from the position of total victorious victory. I can picture Margaret Thatcher using her UN veto, but only with US approval; and I cannot picture any British politician today using his or her veto under any circumstances ever.

Except George Galloway. If he ever becomes Prime Minister I can see him vetoing everything the US proposes, and then some. Perhaps the UK government secretly believes all is lost in the long term, and is destroying the veto just as the South African government destroyed its nuclear programme just before the end of apartheid. &quot;I don&#039;t have it, you don&#039;t have it, that&#039;s detente&quot;.

NB I am British myself, but pragmatic.</description>

		<description>I used to think this talk of a One World government was a bunch of right wing paranoia. But not anymore. You can see the push for that very thing. And behind it, you can see the motive. 

It is really Marxism by stealth. We all join Together under one Banner, for the Good of the People, all differences pushed aside, as we all March in unison into the 21st Century. You can almost hear the Russian male chorus singing. 

Shades of 100 years ago. Except this time, a lot more clever, and a lot less transparent.</description>

This is a fantastic idea!  BUT, France must relinquish to the EU for it to be &lt;i&gt;fair.&lt;/i&gt;  I love some of the ideas here and, although I would love to have the UN packed &amp; kicked out of NY, I agree with some here stating that that would be a little hasty.  Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  I wish we&#039;d cut our funded to minimal at best.  Let that organization flounder about, eh?  VETO, VETO, VETO.  It kind of the old independent voter&#039;s adage, right?  Repubs in one branch, Dems in another, that way nothing ever actually gets done.</description>

		<description>Spooky.

Thank goodness that NAU hysteria has died down, wouldn&#039;t want to preserve freedom by going overboard...

Soon we will be the only light shining from the West. We must persevere and win in Iraq. Democracy there is far more important for us if Britain becomes what the EU desires.</description>

		<description>It appears that, in contradiction to the lessons of history, Soros is determined to create a socialist society on a world scale. Even as the UE is failing in that experience, he is pushing it forward and blaming the size of the membership and the failure of the bureaucracy to handle the size.

Why do I think that assurances that the bureaucracy would stay small, was a big part of getting membership? Now we have Soros admitting that the process to bring about the EU open society is based on each change being small, but ultimately inadequate requiring further changes. In other words, a slippery slope.

So now he wants a EU foreign policy, but rejects the USA&#039;s war on Islamo-fascism as the root of further terrorism and suggests the US has lost it&#039;s influence to set the worlds global agenda.

Sounds to me like he wants the US out of the way. Not all at once, but in the same way the EU was formed. A little at a time. And guess what? Hillary is headed in the same direction. God help us if that socialist becomes president.</description>

		<description>Brave New World or have they visions of Childhood&#039;s End as we evolve into godhead?.........doesn&#039;t matter....they will end up digging trenches across France again. It will all come crashing down when they can&#039;t eat because the American breadbasket has been taxed out of exsistance. Glad I&#039;m something-ish. Wolves to sheep to wolves again. Fatalism is grand.</description>

		<description>Alternative course of action:

Move the UN headquarters from Turtle Bay to the Green Zone in Baghdad, or North Korea, or Tehran, or Sudan...... somewhere that would economically benefit.  Or better yet, make the UN HQ mobile.  This years session in Iraq, next years session in Zimbabwe.  Let all the fat cat delegates that have become too comfortable in NYC go to the vilest places in the world, the most primative, the most despotic, the most in need of world intervention.</description>

		<description>Interesting scenario:  UK and France sell their seats to the EU- giving the anti-American forces at work in an increasingly Muslim dominated part of the world two votes out of five in the real heart of the UN.  Before long the UN will be officially declaring Israel a terrorist state, declaring Palestine is the real nation.... etc.

It&#039;s going to happen folks.  I say cut our losses now.  Withdraw from this irrelevant organization, shut down Turtle Bay, and throw all the rat bastard despots out of America once and for all.</description>

		<description>I understand the frustration that lead us to want to withdraw from the UN, but I would suggest that leaving the UN is a dangerous move.  It would leave the UN an anti-American club.  The right answer is to keep the UN in New York, pay like a quarter of  our &quot;dues&quot;, and veto just about everything in the Security Council.  Making the UN a pointless organization is a far better strategy than withdrawal.
 
To combat the UN, I urge a renewal of the long -standing Republican commitment to state&#039;s right and following it seriously.  What Ashcroft achieved by trying to attack Oregon&#039;s right-to-die law at the federal level was to hand a golden opportunity for the left to mock Republican commitment to state&#039;s right.  I have made the state&#039;s rights argument over twenty times to intelligent moonbats who have come back with what Ashcroft did.  Ashcroft made a huge mistake for the long-run interest of the Republican Party, state&#039;s right, and ultimately our right not to be governed by the UN.  Let&#039;s never repeat it.  We simply can&#039;t afford to--unless we want to hand Soros a golden opportunity to use the one ring to bind us in darkness.</description>

		<description>The very presence of Mark Malloch Brown undermines anything pro-U.S. that has or ever will come out of the mouth of Gordon Brown.  He is de facto evidence that Gordon Brown is a Sorosian scumbag.</description>

		<description>Geez, chalk up another British surrender.  Are they becoming the new France?  I guess for &quot;progressives&quot;, white flags are their &quot;little black dress&quot;.</description>
