Fox News is reporting that yet another money scandal has been uncovered within the United Nations organization. This one involves the Sudan and there's supposed to be roughly $3 million involved. The reicipient of the $3 million has apparently disappeared.
The report went on to say that instead of focusing only on the Oil For Food Program scandal, the US investigation may now decide to encompass the entire United Nations with an eye toward reforming that whole place.
There's a much easier solution. That would be for the US to simply pull out of the UN and let the place fall apart. As more and more information comes out about how the UN is being run, there's simply no reason to remain part of it. The US has no problem in realizing what its responsibilities are when it comes to humanitarian or financial relief to 3rd world countries. The UN certainly can no longer make the same claim. The disaster relief reports from Indonesia describing the attitudes and actual participation of UN employees during the tsunami disaster was disturbing at best.
The US should withdraw from this bogus organization and allow it to find housing for its center elsewhere.

The UN needs the United States. The reverse cannot truthfully be said.
When the US finally decides it's had enough and pulls out of the UN, the UN will no longer exist as a viable entity. |

Good post. Time for the US to save its money and dump the UN - a proven, worthless, scandelous organization that is not pro-freedom, pro-democracy. |

I absolutely agree; we should have left the UN years ago. |
