I'm sorry I can't quote the source but this was discussed on Fox this morning. A Congressman from Texas is proposing that the US withdraw from the UN. They gave the bill number but I didn't catch it and haven't been able to find out anymore about it. This idea is nothing new but to my knowledge this is the first attempt to legally divorce the UN. In our part of the country there are large numbers of Birchers ( the John Birch Society) and they are capable of exerting influence on local politics in some areas. They are very strong in the far western parts of the Oklahoma Panhandle. The Birch Society has been very active for years in trying to get the US out of the UN. I don't know of any connection between this and the proposed legislation - just a coincidence as far as I know. But! There are problems with the UN and perhaps us getting our butts out of it isn't such a bad idea. The UN has never displayed anything close to an ability to effectively deal with any of it's stated purposes. It seems it was designed to failure from the beginning. The Security Council is utterly ridiculous with the way its veto policy is implemented. The rotating committee assignments are ludicrous. Syria heads the committee on terrorism and Iraq the committee on weapons of mass destruction? This is an organization that needs to be revamped or allowed to just go away. Your turn.
