Folks, folks, folks....... As much as I hate the UN, the fact is we CAN'T leave the UN.
Let's suppose for a moment we tell them to get lost, and they relocate to Paris. What influence, then, would we have on preventing them from doing all kinds of nasty things to us and our allies if our veto isn't there? Do you really think that they wouldn't try to, just out of spite? Do you really think they wouldn't pool whatever money they COULD get to do it?
Let's face it, all they have to do is either stop buying our goods (most of them are so backward it wouldn't atter to them, and I'm sure LeMicrosofte would immediately step in) or cut off the oil.
Also, where else but in UN headquarters does the CIA and FBI have such a "target-rich" environment in which to recruit spies and detect spies within our own agencies. It's one-stop shopping over there, and I think the loss of the intel would be pretty drastic.
What we need to do is bring that bastard organization to heel somehow, but do so in a manner that WE are still able to thwart them should they get uppity.
Either that, or create an agency akin to the CIA dedicated solely to ensuring that the dismembered UN never, EVER can reunify somewhere else without us.
I still believe in Rush Limbaugh's Excrement List policy. You bad-mouth us, and you automatically get put on the Excrement List for 5 years. No aid of any kind, even if E.T. decides to stage a landing on your ass. After 5 years, IF you have behaved in a proper manner toward us, we'll CONSIDER giving you aid again. Any violation of that requirement automatically resets the 5-year clock.
THAT would get the world's attention FAST....
