Various conservative media outlets are calling on Kofi Annan to resign as secretary general of the United Nations in light of his mishandling of the "Oil for Food" program for Iraq and his son's role in that scandal. I join these writers in calling for Annan to resign. I ask them to join me in calling on all of Kofi Annan's colleague's to resign with him.

The United Nations is a farce. It has democratic pretensions, but the majority of the national delegates were appointed by governments that don't have the consent of the governed. Seriously, does it make sense for Muamar Khadafi to have a personal representative voting in the United Nations but for the people of Libya not to have one? Even if the UN became a league exclusively of democratic nations, it would be an enemy of self-government in that it takes decision-making further and further away from the people.

With many globalists dreaming of UN taxing authority or a blue-helmeted world army, a few elites hope to further consolidate their power. This is bad news for anyone who cares about national sovereignty.

Yeah, and that scandal about stealing billions of dollars intended for the people of Iraq? Well, that was bad too but it has no bearing on whether one views the United Nations as a legitimate institution or not.

So Kofi, it's time to go. It's time for you and everyone else at the United Nations to go home.

Let's pull out of the UN and tell them to shove off to Brussells or somewhere like that. Aren't those blue helmets which just say "citizen" on the side scary? They could coume straight out of the French Revolution or international communism (comrade).

Send them packing from NYC and all those delegates driving around making a mess of the town.

We can't just withdraw from the UN. As much as I agree with your sentiments, and feel that it is a useless body, as long as we are a member we retain veto power in the Security Council.

God knows what might happen if we withdrew entirely.

Of course God knows, but WE also have a pretty good idea about what would happen if the US were to withdraw entirely from the UN: (1) it would have to find a new revenue source, (2) it would become even more politically powerless and irrelevant than it is now, and (3) we would make a statement about American sovereignty.

Then we would withdraw from the WTO, which is always gradually encrouching on the US people's right to determine its own laws.

U.N. = Banana Republic.

Throw them out of the U.S. and let them do their dirty work based out of another country.
