Remind me again....Why are we in the U.N.?

Today the news is so full of bombings BY Israel - as it has been for the last few weeks.

Why isn't there outrage against Lebanon and Hezbollah for all the bombings of Israel wherein they actually target innocent citizens.

Israel's soldiers are dressed in military uniforms - very easy to pick out in a crowd. Hezbollah's cowards are dressed as civilians AND are firing from positions using homes with men, women & children in them. Then a majority of the world condemns Israel?

WHAT?

Damn the U.N. for being the spineless, worthless, greedy, sleazy, do-nothing-unless-it-lines-my-pockets mental midgets they have shown themselves to be.

Held hostage by mid-east oil, the U.S., Russia & China - of course, France is there in all her infamy - no one speaks the truth to condemn the true villains: Lebanon, Syria, Iran. Why don't UN people have any backbones? Why don't they show any moral fortitude? Oh, that's right.... Because they DON'T HAVE ANY!!!!!!!

More importantly: WHY IS THE UNITED STATES STILL PAYING MONEY TO BELONG TO THIS PATHETIC, USELESS ORGANIZATION?

It is akin to belonging to a country club that will not admit anyone of color; you may sit back & gripe about it, but you still pay your dues & you still support the functions because you - what? - don't want to be left out? So, for all your pretty speeches & your support of functions to promote harmony between people, you are not willing to give up your seat at the table of greed because it would mean you actually have to stand up for what is right & for the words that come out of your mouth. But, your actions speak so much louder than your words ever will.

Tell the U.N. to take a hike. Tell members to pay all their unpaid fines in New York & anywhere else they owe them. Tell members to pay what they owe; arrest those who have broken our laws - no more hiding behind 'diplomatic immunity'.

Then tell them to GO HOME.

Tell them they to come back when they can act & vote as moral, upstanding, truthful members & guardians of freedoms around the world.

My bet would be, were this to actually happen (dream on mad fool, as my Mother used to say) that all any of us would ever see of them is their backside as they leave this country.

Unless - UNTIL - the UN lives up to the charter & precepts under which it was founded, we need to withdraw all support.

I cannot think of one single politician who would support this position because you see, that would take courage. The REAL kind of courage where you say what you mean AND mean what you say.

My Senators & Congressmen from Wisconsin do not have this courage. I know this because I write to them & all I get back is political-speak: putting lots of words on paper that do not mean a damn thing.

Do your representatives have the courage to say what they mean AND mean what they say? If so, I would love to know about them.
