Oh yeah, the UN. I remember those guys. Let's all take a trip down memory lane as we examine the members of this fine establishment, defender of freedom and human rights world-wide, shall we?
Iraq (Member since 1945)
Attacks Iran in 1980 in violation of Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter and customary international law prohibiting wars of aggression.
Uses poison gas against Iranian troops in 1983.
Launches deliberate attacks on Iranian civilian targets.
Guilty of significant breaches of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, using prisoners as human shields and torturing them physically and mentally (and we're sure as hell not talking naked pyramids, either)
Launches a campaign of extermination and genocide against the Kurds of Northern Iraq from 1987-1988 where anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 Kurds were slaughtered in various manners including chemical.
More wonderful Iraqi humanitarian acts here
Afghanistan (Member since 1946)
Harbored terrorists of the likes of Bin Laden. Even the most staunch lefties don't deny the Taliban's strong connection to Al Quaeda
The Islamic Republic of Iran (Member since 1945)
Cleric Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his cronies sieze control of Iran in 1979 through (what else) terrorism. He establishes a "theocracy" that would make any liberal forget any reference to God that George Bush has ever made; no elections, executions of homosexuals, atheists, adulterers, and prostitutes. Also a major financial contributor to terrorism all over the Middle East.
Pakistan (Member since 1947)
In 1970, Pakistan sets out on one of the largest missions of genocide of this century in an effort to eliminate the Awami League, which demanded regional autonomy for East Pakistan (known today as Bangladesh), and an end to military rule. "Kill three million of them, and the rest will eat out of our hands.", said President Yahya Khan. At the least, an estimated 1 MILLION people were killed in this massacre.
Sudan (Member since 1956)
To this very day the Sudanese government, through military action and starvation, is systematically slaughtering the black Sudanese of Darfur.
Cuba (Member since 1945)
Fidel Castro. Need I say more?
Rwanda (Member since 1962)
At the time of admission to the UN, Rwanda was under the control of the ethnic group Hutu, guilty of butchering over a half million people between 1959 and 1994 when they were finally overthrown.
And that is just a few. Many of the above are Islamic states (and members of the UN) that rule their people with an iron fist, employing torture and execution for moral offences that many a liberal would wear as a badge of honor. Why the left continues to support an organization made up of such thugs is beyond comprehension, and demonstrates ignorance on an astronomical level, and an utter lack of perspective.
The utter impotence of the UN comes as no surprise to me when you factor in the scum that has joined its ranks over the years. Remember, France and Germany are NOT the UN! They are merely two nations outnumbered in a large organization of Islamic radicals and communist tyrants.
