In 1945, after World War II, after the Holocaust, at a moment of extreme moral quality, the U.N. was founded. The alliance, based on shared principles, grew out of a military alliance with the aim to combat aggressors and defend human rights. At that moment, Democratic States had a considerable majority.

At the moment however, dictatorships and third world countries have a large majority in the Council and the Western Democracies are constantly are voted down. Consequently, many resolutions are undermining the democratic principles and the living up to the priniciples of human rights. Furthermore, for the sake of impartiality, the U.N. makes never distiction between aggressor and defender and moral quality is not longer taken into consideration. Fact is however, that even since its foundation, the U.N. failed. Below you can find exaples where the U.N. failed in its duties.

- In 1948, the Arab armies invaded the new State of Israel. This act of violence by the Arabs, was recognized as a clear case of aggression. The U.N. requested a cease-fire, without making the distinction between attackers and defenders. Palestine was partitioned in an Israeli State, a Palestinian State and Jerusalem was internationalized . In the end, the aggressors were rewarded.

- In October 1962, with the news of the confirmed photographic evidence of Soviet missile bases in Cuba, President Kennedy started the naval quarantine around Cuba without the potentially time-consuming appeal to the United Nations.

- In the 1970's, Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge leader, killed over 1.7 million of civilians. U.N. secretary General Perez de Quelliar insisted on protecting the Khmer Rouge. Pot was not summond before the tribunal of The Heaghe. The aggression stopped when Vietnam invaded Cambodia, also without first going to the U.N.

The war against Israel:

- In November 1975, the U.N. ruled that Zionism was a form of racism. The U.N. voted 152/1, to call on Israel to rescind a resolution declaring Jerusalem its capital.

Kofi Annan is blaming Israeli for recent deaths of four UN Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFL) troops killed by Israeli weapons. The UNIFL has been on the Lebanon-Israeli border since 1978, and if the UN and UNIFL was doing the job they were suppose to be doing all these years there may not have been any UNIFL deaths.

It has been reported that both the UNIFL and Hiz’allah flags were flying at the outpost hit by Israeli fire. Therefore the outpost was a Hiz’allah target, that would justify the attack.

This is just another example of the ineffective presence of the UN in the Middle East or for that fact anywhere in the world. When will the masses wake up and see the the errors of the UN?

The United States has been criticized for not wanting any part of the UN environmental treaty, Kyoto Protocols. Our government did not want to support a biased treaty that would restrict our economic development with environmental regulations. Meanwhile many Asian countries such as China, are exempt from any of the treaty's provisions.

Now our West Coast is being threatened by the pollution and smog from China that contains sulfur, soot and trace metals from the burning of coal, diesel and other fossil fuels.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that on certain days nearly 25 percent of the particulate matter in the skies above Los Angeles can be traced to China. Some experts predict China could one day account for a third of all California's air pollution.

Another good reason to get US out of the UN.
