U.N. Blog

I strongly agree with Andrea Seastrand that the United States should withdraw from the United Nations. Almost everyone agrees that there is a huge problem with the U.N.'s policy. The Muslims were held back by the U.S. when the Bosnian Serbs attacked in which they could not even launch an offensive to try and fight. There are many problems with the equality in voting in the U.N. General Assembly. The United States, with 262 million citizens have the same vote as Palau, with 15,000 citizens. This is a terrible way to give a vote to each country because most of the countries are small and poor. They vote on many subjects including approving policies related to war, economic expenditures, wealth distribution, and regulatory restrictions. I think it is ridiculous that the American taxpayers are subsidizing the privileged U.N. workers' taxes.
