The World Stage: Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust, sponsors terrorism and colludes in the murder of American troops. So why is he given the honor of addressing the United Nations on U.S. soil?
To us, the answer is clear. The U.N. is as corrupt, brutal and morally compromised as Ahmadinejad himself. In its many affronts to civilization and decency, the U.N. has long since outlived its usefulness and reason for being. Time to shut it down.
Sounds harsh, we know. Isn’t it better, you ask, to have a place where people can peaceably gather and talk out their problems?
Sad as it is to say, the answer is no. For the U.N. has been hijacked by a rather diverse group of kleptocrats, dictators and fanatics who have successfully used it to their own rather nefarious ends.
An old proposal, put forward by Sen. John McCain a while back, would scrap the U.N. and replace it with a “league of democracies.” Great idea. Let that be the starting point for reform talks.
