The best reason to get out of the UN

Censorship.

Screw the bigots.

(And, no, I do not agree with the comment posted in the lower corner of the screen. Not entirely, anyway. I have met more than a few Muslims who have a sense of honor and decency. But, apparently, they have no influence, politically.)

Iranian leader visits NYC

There is already quite a bit of noise going on, about Ahmadinejad's proposed visit to the UN, his speech at Columbia U, and his proposed tour (now canceled -- and yet, he still threatens to visit there without permission from the city) of Ground Zero.

Personally, I would encourage the city to allow him a visit to the site of the destroyed WTC. Not only should they allow him to visit, they should require that, out of respect for all the victims of terrorism, he stay a while at the site -- at least 444 days.

UN demands Israel open its borders

Open your house wide, we don't care what it will do to you.


Some of the commenters at lgf suggest that Israel say, "We'll think about opening our borders when you make all your finances transparent." I don't honestly think that would get the point across. If, on the other hand, we suggested that the UN no longer have security officers and forces on the premises of their headquarters, maybe they'd get a clue.

Then again, maybe not. Those UN guys are dangerously, criminally stupid.
