We should start a newer, better UN called the AC (Allied Countries)
We already have one of those. It's called the United States and they work pretty good together. It doesn't really need the U.N. to tell it how to run it's business.
Absolutely! I wish he would also have mentioned how much money maintaining the UN and hosting its members costs the US each year. The UN has proved itself to be ineffectual....darfur is proof enough of that.
america isnt doing anything on that part either but we're in georgia and iraq with no problems etc
i find it funny that no one can be anti-isreal. americans can be anti-blah blah blah and set foot in others yards, is the US biiter because more goverments are removing american bases from their countries?
get off isreals nuts already they are an apartheid state, the european jews discriminated against the jews who were already there before the country of isreal fully formed.
arab jews were discriminated against on their on land by the euros
The UN has stopped nuclear war? Wow, must have missed that. Has the UN stopped the genocide in Darfur? How about the severe human rights violations of North Korea? What really has the UN done lately aside from inviting Achmadinejad (a man who denies gays exist in Iran, yet somehow manages to have public executions of said gays) to speak, applaud a dictator like Chavez when he insults US on their floor? Oh, they do double park in NYC and refuse to pay the tickets....and have been known to commit all sorts of crimes and get away with it -- diplomatic amunity is such a useful thing, isn't it?
-i dont know why you think all countries should acknowledge gays when its against their religion or moral standards. IF THATS TRHERE LAWS WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE?
-at least the UN has been there, where american troops there? NO
-cHAVEZ a dictator lol anyone who stands up to the US is a dictator, i guess i can call bush a dictator for barging in someone elses country. failed coups backed by the US has tried to kill him and he's suppose to be buddy buddy with the US?
-sounds like alot of our politicians, but you dont give a rats ass
Tancredo wants everybody to move out, except drunk rich skiers and gullible white teenagers desperate enough to work under third-world conditions in ski lodges.
But if we move the UN out, we would no longer have the power to prevent UN delegates from attending meetings or sessions there. Bad move. Remember when the Tancredos of that era blocked Castro from coming, and the UN had to move to Geneva for a few years. America saved the world from communism by preventing Castro from speaking at the UN.
Tancredo was also at the forefront of the effort to block Amhadinejad from speaking at Columbia. He believs the strength of America lies in our fear of ideas.

If there had been no UN what would Dubya have done when his phantom WMDs evaporated into thin air? He'd lose the fall back position of justifying his war of choice by crying violations of UN sanctions.
