To consider the UN irrelevant might be dangerous. Incompetent(perhaps on purpose?) and weak it may be but if the US leaves it could become strong while the US wasn’t looking.

Without the US, I predict it would take off just like the League of Nations.

Grackle still doesn’t comprehend that nobody would obey the UN Resolutions if the US pulled its coalition forces out of the UN. It’s really the anti-pope and pope dichotomy. So long as the US sets up an acceptable alternative that allows Japan and India to be respected, the UN is useless. All the Resolutions are designed to affect the morale of Israel and America, nobody else.

I advocate immunity and prevention. That way you don’t have to deal with treating anyone, because nobody would be infected and sick with parasites.

so, nyomythus, ymarsakar, rather than risk dependence on social assistance you’d advocate killing the poor and the sick?

No, not at all. “Wasn’t looking” was just a metaphor but the commentor gets all pseudo-intellectual/pseudo psychological with the term. However, the response gives me further excuse to expound on my viewpoint. The way I see it: The US presence at the UN is a positive check on the UN. I shudder to think of what kind of mischief many of the Jihad-supporting UN members might dream up if the US were not present to cast an opposing vote. Thus, the US needs to keep its membership but start an anti-Jihad version of the UN on the side because those nations concerned with security from the Jihad need to form their own organization, free of the corruption of the UN as it’s presently constituted.

The problem with treating lepers in the same room, is that disease once treated, rarely comes back. With mental parasitism, it is not the same. The more you treat it, the more people you have to treat. Eventually you will be unable to bury the bodies because you won’t have enough people to use the shovels.

weak it may be but if the US leaves it could become strong while the US wasn’t looking.

People who listen to their fears and make policy based upon that, ultimately fail spectacularly.

The reasoning that you’re afraid it might get stronger if you look away is about as persuasive as the reasoning that my laptop will disappear if I don’t keep it in the center of my vision.

Going tunnel visioned on one object, because you are afraid of it, just means someone will get behind you and put you in an arterial block hold.

The one thing that is always not wise, is to listen to your fears. The UN is already strong. Whenever some African rape victim thinks about the UN, they know exactly where it is located and which military protects the UN from harm. It’s called the United States. Victims of the UN can do little about the UN because they do not have te power to touch America, or even to talk to us.

The very fact that the UN sits on AMerican soil and is in New York, is a power source and a moral justification that the UN uses to justify its existence. Arab dictators have justified their existence and their anti-Americanism for decades based upon one lone reason. America supports dictators, so therefore you should kill America. America supports the UN, therefore America is not for freedom.

Or bury him — as ‘he’ analogously by your suggestion is ‘the terrorist’ — bury him.

Or societies that refuse to evolve with the rest of humanity need to just die-off, it’s what happens in nature — wouldn’t this be the ‘real’ Green approach? I mean it’s a hard line but “Feed me, clothe me, keep me from harm and oh yeah … f**k you too” just can not be enabled forever. Cry baby societies need to grow up and smell the coffee.

It’s not like a house with doors you can close, but one room and we’re all in it together. The leper in the corner is eventually going to infect everybody unless you treat him.
