At least we should stand united against the United Nations. They have evolved from a worthless organization to a harmful organization. I can not support a politician who will not demand proper reforms of the UN. You don't need uncommon sense in light of the Oil for Food scandal, the various genocides that have gone on the last 15+ years where the UN has either not done anything or where their troops committed horrible crimes, and now the failure to protect Israel and enforce their own resolution with a true peace keeping force in Southern Lebanon. The real question for our politicians today is not if you knew back then what you know now about WMD would you still vote the same way. The real question is if you knew back then what you know today about the general corruption in the UN and specifically the Oil for Food Program would you subject our security to approval by the UN or as John Kerry so eloquently put it--a Global Test. This is an issue that should unite all Americans for our safety. The ineffectiveness of the UN caused the Iraq War not George Bush. Saddam's flaunting of the resolutions and the UN not enforcing them other than through economic sanctions which the French, Germans, Russians and UN officers then cheated on caused the war. If the UN had been effective, thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women and children would be alive today. As would 2600 American heros. Our anger should be directed at the UN and it should unite us.
