Between raping children and forcing native women into prostitution for food, how do the blue helmets of peace find time for war crimes?

Evacuate the UN building in New York and topple it into the water. It`s taking up valuable space.

Things aren't all that good in the Congo, better or not: IRC Special Report: Congo I'm not prepared to say the UN hasn't done some good, but I certainly am not impressed.

It’s pretty awful what Indian and Pakistani soldiers did but Pakistan conscript army is the largest contributor of men for UN missions and like other UN missions, those troops have immunity from prosecution except from the contributing governments so shouldn’t concerned parties be campaigning for some sort of punishment from the Moroccan, Indian, and Pakistani governments rather than the UN? Also, despite the issues notesd conditions in the DR Congo are in fact much improved since the deployment so it is not a complete failure. The transgressions need to be investigated and made public. the most worrying aspect is that Un officials played down the criminal activity but the UN needs the ongoing support of Pakistan in order to perform these missions.

Funky Chicken… go read the terms of the lease for the UN building. The UN essentially has to rebuild the entire complex in order to get out of the lease. That is the main reason why they remain there although with the dollar so cheap it is probably economic these days.

The UN and its peacekeeping missions had long ago lost all credibility with their sexual exploitation of women and children. Now they not only abuse the locals for their own amusement, they have turned into an arms distributorship. That doesn’t keep the peace — it ensures war and misery for years to come. The UN has transformed from a benign anachronism to a malignant mechanism for destruction.

Don't forget Katanga.

Having pulled my head out of the sand only 8 months ago, I had no real idea how bad it was. Thanks, Ed. Keep it coming.

Time for the UN to build its headquarters in someplace like North Korea, the Sudan, or Zimbabwe. You know someplace where they can connect with the world’s downtrodden instead of just learning about it second-hand from vistors and witnesses who are forced to travel to the UN so that the delegates don’t have to disrupt their Manhattan lifestyle which is far more comfortable than anything back in their third-world nations.

This is the same criminally corrupt organization to which Senator Barack Obama (”judgment to lead”) wants to commit nearly $1 Trillion U.S tax dollars to combat the “global war on poverty.” Any guesses as to how many of our Trillion dollars will go directly into the pockets of these filthy thieves at the U.N.?

Funky, my suggestion is that ‘for the sake of neutrality’, the UN needs to relocate to somewhere neutral. I don’t think we could get away with sending them to Antartica as I’d like, but maybe Switzerland can take them. We would need to implement a New York hooker emigration plan, though, to support the move.

The UN troops are worse than useless; they give ‘feel-good’ cover for atrocities to continue. And AN troops are not any better.

No, we cannot “demand . . . outright dissolution of the United Nations.” But we can withdraw from the organization, keeping our dues and other fees, kick them out of the US, and watch them wither away. The UN only bitches and moans about the US and Israel because we pay dues. Once we stop paying dues, they’ll have to bitch on their own dime, and being the corrupt, cheap bastards they are, will not do so.

The US involvement with the creation, and subsequent anti-Americanism, of the UN is a model for “no good deed goes unpunished.”

Oops, I meant to say reforming the UN is like reforming the EU.

The EU tried it and then slapped the entire body of evidence under a top secret classification so that was the end of that. The UN would no doubt try the same trick.

If the UN has to stay in the United States by law, how about we build them a new headquarters in New Orleans? You know, the government has already pledged billions to rebuild NO anyway. Why not send the UN down there as part of the reconstruction?

I remember a while back Kofi Annan was saying that the UN needed 2 billion dollars to renovate the complex in NYC. I’d guess for half that money we could build a gleaming, state of the art complex for them in NOLA and fund the demo on the current Manhattan buildings.

What is the legal basis for allowing the UN to remain in its headquarters on very valuable real estate in NY? I’ve read several times that we legally “can’t” withdraw from the UN and tell them to move their headquarters to another nation. Can’t? Can’t evict a malignant force which we for some reason give billions of dollars of US taxpayer money every year?

So the U.N is power hungry, corrupt, evil, incompetent and anti-human? Gee Ed, next your going to be telling me the sun comes up in the morning.

I’m joking…. thank you for this article, people need to be made aware of how power hungry, corrupt, evil, incompetent and anti-human the U.N. truly is. They are all these things on an astounding scale. And keep in mind, the biggest advocates of the global warming scam, is the IPCC, which is a U.N. body. Why would any clear thinking person ever trust a word these people say?

Long past time to de-fund the U.N..

I’m hoping for an Internet movie backed by Soros that digs a little deeper to expose the real truth.
