Nuts
Some events are just a complete waste of clean underwear.
Such is the case most days in the hallowed hall of peace and freedom known as the United Nations, but never was it more apparent to even a casual observer than the session held on Wednesday of this week.
To comprehend all of the money spent and time and attention paid to carry on the insultingly inane soap box rants of this completely feckless organization is to understand how utterly clueless we have become in the area of international diplomacy. Billions upon billions of dollars are spent on and channeled through this corrupt collection of professional speechmakers every year under the guise of world peace and international harmony, when in fact the only function this august body serves is to offer a prominent podium to deceitful third world dictators to vent their often psychotic and eminently paranoid view of the evil United States of America.
What may well have started off as a means to fulfill the dream of international unity has been denigrated into a hopeless parade of despotic autocrats who rage in a singular voice of the malevolent character of the United States while shaking their tin cup in hopes of garnering increased financial support for their junta dictatorships.
The only practical purpose served by this organization is to caste the harsh light of reality on just how useless it is to even attempt to carry out any form of meaningful negotiation with these ruthless mental midgets. The U.N. provides a forum of implied legitimacy for accusations so outrageous as to be completely beyond comprehension to the point that if the accusers were standing on the street professing similar manifesto’s they would likely be whisked away to a secure mental ward for psychiatric observation.
It is the U.N. podium where Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez said he could still smell the sulfur of hell a day after President Bush addressed the assembly. It was the U.N. podium where Iran’s puppet president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeatedly denied the occurrence of the World War II holocaust and basically told the world to kiss his nuclear missile toting ass. It is the U.N. podium where a clearly insane Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who in keeping with the circus atmosphere arrived in New York with his own big top tent, almost incoherently rambled for over 90 minutes on the evils of the United States, Israel, the planet as a whole and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, while defending the rights of the felonious pirates off the coast of Somalia claiming “These men are not pirates. We are the pirates. We are all pirates”. The only thing missing was an eye patch and a parrot and he would have been ready for October 31st.
The concept of international diplomacy may sound like a venerable idea, but when you realize that the person you are trying to negotiate with is nuttier than a jar of Jif you quickly come to understand that you may as well be talking to your shoe.
These are the leaders that Barack Obama said he would meet with without any preconditions. These are the sick minds that are desperate for something, anything, to give them at least the feigned appearance of legitimacy. These are the inmates that are running the asylum. And we are the ones who get to foot the bill for the lion’s share of it.
Whoever came up with the expression “Talk is cheap” has never seen the United Nations. It is beyond saving. There is no hope of ever turning this dysfunctional diplomatic cabal into anything altruistic or even meaningful. Any major issues will always be deadlocked by the self-interest of the major power players and the minor issues will remain eternally unresolved but continuously funded by the U.S. taxpayer. Breakthrough agreements are measured in how much the US will concede. Enforcement for the other parties of those agreements is nonexistent except as the topic for the next round of rambling speeches. It serves no useful purpose for the United States to even be a member of this asinine assembly much less play host and caretaker. The U.S. needs to resign and the U.N. needs to move to a more suitable location.
Maybe Libya. The U.N. has the clowns. Gadhafi has the tent.
