The Island of Logic

The United Nations, a good idea at its inception, is the biggest joke that exists in the world today. This latest crisis between Russia and Georgia, is a perfect example of their complete ineffectiveness. In response to the Useless Nannies meeting to come up with a cease fire agreement for the conflict, Georgia stated: “We understand that when one of the permanent members is an aggressor in this conflict, it is very hard to get things done and find a fair assessment of the situation.”  (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121875094135642307.html) Exactly, its pretty tough to be an effective organization when the aggressor has veto power on the Security Council. Ok, so now the Useless Nannies get Russia to agree and sign the Cease Fire agreement, but Russia hasn’t ceased fire nor have they left the captured territory, (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/16/AR2008081601039.html) so what are the Useless Nannies going to do now. Threaten to implement sanctions? (They would never do that, they just threaten it.) Ohhh, won’t that strike fear in the heart of the Ruskies as they shake in their boots. Oh, and guess what? The Useless Nannies are also reprimanding Georgia for “provoking” Russia by taking a police action in their own sovereign territory. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6049872.stm) When the Useless Nannies can’t resolve a conflict by stopping the bully, they have to blame it on someone, so now it is the bully’s target’s fault for provoking the bully. I personally saw the Useless Nannies ineffectiveness in Haiti, where people would be robbed and held at gun point literally right in front of UN troops, but since they were not “authorized” to use force they stood by and “observed”. Crime rates exploded in Haiti durning the time of the Useless Nannies occupation. Iraq laughed and poked fun at all the weapons inspectors and resolutions that the Useless Nannies came up with, and all the Useless Nannies could do was say “Stop”. (Say with a high pitched, gay sounding voice) They finally stopped laughing when another organization of 50 states stepped in and took care of the problem. Who was it that enforced the Useless Nannies resolution that demanded Iraq get out of Kuwait in 1990, once again the US had to provide the teeth to the threat given by the Useless Nannies. We could go on and on, the Useless Nannies failure in Somalia, Rwanda, etc., etc., but we don’t have to, everyone knows, whether they admit it or not, that if something needs to be done in the world the US has to step in and do it. Really when it comes down to it, the primary function of the Useless Nannies is simply to transfer wealth from the United States to the rest of the world. According to the Useless Nannies financial records the United States pays for 22% of the Regular Budget, that is higher than any other nation. That doesn’t include all the other UN budgets that the US also pays the highest percentages. In 2007 the United States “owed” $1.26 billion to the Useless Nannies. What the US pays to the Useless Nannies budget is not part of the roughly 21 billion given by the US government in Foreign Aid annually. Despite the US being the primary funder and enforcer for the Useless Nannies, they are often apposed in resolutions and impugned for not paying enough. Below are some statistics of percentages of times different nations appose the US in the UN, and the amount of Foreign Aid some of them received from the US.

My only remaining question is, “why are we still a part of this ridiculous organization”? Let’s drop out and kick the Useless Nannies out of New York. Then as a bonus, maybe we can get rid of all these foreign dignitaries with Diplomatic Immunity.
