STEVE FORBES FOR U.N. AMBASSADOR?
He’s got the votes of the grass-roots organization Move America Forward, which is spearheaded by the forces behind the Gray Davis recall. According to WND:
“The United Nations is a corrupt and failed institution that dedicates much of its time to attacking American policy and passing anti-American initiatives,” said Move America Forward co-chairman Melanie Morgan, a radio talk-show host from San Francisco and a leader of the recall of former Gov. Gray Davis. “Steve Forbes is someone who can both articulate American foreign policy, and also stand up to the tin pot dictators and terrorist sympathizers at the U.N. who are determined to hurt the United States and our interests.”
Forbes called for the U.N. headquarters to be kicked out of N.Y.C. in a column last week:
The oil-for-food scandal, perhaps the biggest instance of corruption in history, allowed Saddam Hussein to siphon off tens of billions of dollars and direct it (after meeting his own needs) to favored countries, companies and individuals whose influence could help perpetuate his deadly dictatorship.
The UN has long turned a blind eye to terrorism. It failed, miserably, to stop the 1994 genocide in Rwanda-militants of the dominant Hutu tribe literally hacked to death 800,000 members of the minority Tutsi tribe. On the eve of this mass murder, Kofi Annan, then head of UN peacekeeping efforts, pulled out half the UN’s forces, thereby giving a tacit green light to the slaughter that followed.
The UN’s utter lack of principles is on constant display in the UN Human Rights Commission: One of its members is Sudan, whose Arab-dominated government is committing genocide against the black population in the Darfur region.
Another outrage was the UN’s recent attempt to influence our presidential election. A top UN bureaucrat manufactured the way-overhyped story about an alleged missing weapons cache in Iraq. The timing of this was no coincidence-it was payback for President Bush’s violating UN sensibilities with regard to Iraq.
UN failings are not new. Repotting it might not enable the UN to regain its moral bearings, but it’s certainly worth a try.
U.N. Ambassador Forbes? Sounds good to me!
