Please sign the petition to urge Congress to defund and exit the United Nations.

Child sexual exploitation as young as six years old by paid personnel.  Funding and active participation in terrorist activities by paid personnel.  Mentally ill patients are routinely sexually and physically abused by paid personnel.  Involved in illicit gold and ivory and weapons trade and sexual exploitation and rape of Congo women and girls replete with photo and video evidence.  Paid personnel roasting a fourteen year old Somali boy.

This is the organization who would claim moral authority to investigate human rights violations by the United States of America?  Whose appointed commission is headed and bodied by some of the worst human rights violators in history including Sudan, Cuba, and Pakistan.

A waste of billions of dollars annually in fraudulent carbon footprint reduction programs abuses.  It has a reputation for ignoring evidence in its internal investigations including rape and murder.  Its filled with hypocrites who condemned Israel four times compared to the six times it has condemned any of the other 191 countries represented.  Who claim to self police their organization but even their own appointed investigators quit in protest of limiting access and non-application of recommendations.  Against its own charter, it is maneuvering for final authority over any military action by any nation including in case of grave threat even though they have a record of complete inaction on those same threats.  Now it has banned criticism of Islam.

The Dictators' Roman Holiday

Only the United Nations would invite a dictator who has purposefully starved his own people to a summit on the international food crisis. But that is precisely what happened in Rome last week. Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, who has starved his political enemies and channeled food aid to only favored groups, was in attendance, as was the Iranian dictator, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It has already been one year since the U.S. Congress voted 411-2 to call on the UN Security Council to punish Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for violating the UN Charter and the UN Convention on Genocide for his repeated incitement of genocide against the Israeli people, yet the Iranian dictator is still welcome at UN events.

True to form, Ahmadinejad used the international spotlight to once again predict the demise of the state of Israel and accuse the U.S. of plotting an attack on him.

Mugabe accused the West, not his own genocidal policies, of starving his people.

In other words, it was a typical gathering for the United Nations.

Europe's Resistance to GM Foods, Not America's Support for Biofuels, Has Contributed to the Global Food Crisis

But the infuriating arrogance of UN bureaucrats lecturing the world's largest provider of food aid - and the single greatest contributor to the UN food fund - cannot be allowed to pass without comment.

In fact, it is the Europeans irrational resistance to genetically modified (GM) crops - aided and abetted by extremists on the left -- that is responsible for much of the hunger in Africa and the rest of the developing world.

GM crops that are commonplace in the U.S. - crops that don't need expensive pesticides and even potentially are drought resistance - are banned in Europe. And Europe and the Left's misinformation about the health and safety of these foods has led most African nations to ban them too for fear of being shut out of lucrative European export markets.

South Africa is the only African nation that grows GM crops. And while food production in the rest of Africa is 20 percent per capita less than it was in 1970, South Africa is producing surplus amounts of crops through biotechnology.

The U.S. Should Refuse to Participate in Future UN Charades

The UN food crisis gathering ignored the issue of GM foods, of course, but it did call on member nations to kick in at least $20 billion a year to help ease global hunger.

President Bush, who has tripled U.S. aid to Africa during his presidency, should ignore this demand and publicly refuse to participate in farces with vicious, murdering thugs like Mugabe and Ahmadinejad like the one in Rome last week.

President Bush should transition U.S. assistance to direct, bilateral forms only. Our willingness to allow UN bureaucrats and international dictators to lecture us in public strengthens them and isolates us. Far from feeding hungry people, it consigns them to lives of poverty, desperation and premature death.

For their good, and for our national self-respect, we should stop being a part this charade.

U.S. does not stand for Uncle Sam, rather we are considered Uncle Sugar by the nations least appreciative yet most benefited by our aid programs.  Let's take a look at votes in the United Nations by a long list of nations wallowing in Uncle Sugar's foreign aid like spoiled hogs:

Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.  Yet, Egypt receives $2 billion annually in Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.  Yet, Jordan receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.  Yet, Pakistan receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes against the United States 81% of the time. Yet, India receives $143,699,000 annually in U.S. Foreign Aid.

The Arab states, all recipients of foreign aid, consistently vote against the U.S. by lopsided margins. 

Even Kuwait -- for whose independence American servicemen fought and died -- votes against us 67% of the time!
