Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve long thought the UN irredeemably corrupt, with the miserable Kofi Annan merely a symptom, not a cause of the problem there. I’m wondering, though, if I might have to revise that thinking just a little bit, in light of something new at UNIFIL. Thanks to Laer, at Cheat-Seeking Missiles,
Continue readingJohn Bolton is leaving the UN, but I’m proud of Bush for doing some finger-pointing: President Bush said today that John R. Bolton will end his service as the United Nations ambassador when his appointment ends this month. Mr. Bolton became the ambassador last year under a recess appointment made
Continue readingI don’t know what’s most interesting about this story Patrick, the Paragraph Farmer, brought to my attention. What John Bolton said, or the fact that the American media ignored it completely? The U.S. Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, launched a scathing attack on the United Nations Friday. Bolton was
Continue readingThe Democrats have turned their sights on John Bolton, the only sane voice in the UN. If you want to attempt to stem this tide, here’s a website with ideas for helping out. If you want some background about (a) how utterly degraded, debased and anti-Semitic the UN is and
Continue readingFrom American Thinker: The French will flex military their “military muscle” to shoot down Israeli observation jets. After years of ignoring Hezbollah preparations to terrorize Israel, after hiding a video that could have helped Israel find out what happened to soldiers murdered by Hezbollah in 2001 (the kidnappers used trucks
Continue readingOf Hugh Chavez’s disgraceful exhibition at the UN, Mike Gallagher had this to say: Once more, Americans are treated to the ugly spectacle of the United Nations hosting some crackpot, U.S.-hating leader. One day, it’s the lunatic president of Iran; the next, it’s the vermin from Venezuela. Adding insult to
Continue readingIf you go to this post, you’ll find a link to a slideshow that LGF’s Charles Johnson put together using photographs that someone took of the 35,000 person strong rally outside of the UN to support Israel. I just have a couple of comments. First, I wanted to note the
Continue readingI loathe the UN, and I have my doubts about the efficacy of internet petitions. Nevertheless, for what it’s worth, this is the web site for a petition to the UN urging that dissolute, ineffective body to act against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. (And how’s that for a sales pitch for
Continue readingAfter weeks of silence regarding the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, the execrable Kofi Annan has suddenly popped up to announce that he’s here to help: U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Monday he would appoint a secret envoy to work for the release of the two Israeli soldiers whose capture by
Continue readingWhen my mother was going through her stuff, she came upon a 1967 issue of Life magazine entitled “Israel’s Swift Victory.” It’s a 100 page special edition, so I won’t attempt to retype all of it here. I’ll just cherry-pick my way through those bits of coverage I found most
Continue readingAt the UN today, the “Arab Group” made its ad hoc contribution to the Draft International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. To the existing preamble paragraph, they proposed including this language to describe what they perceive as an existing problem: “Concerned that situations of armed conflict, foreign
Continue readingAgain, fairly overwhelming work and family commitments will keep my blogging nonexistent, but there’s interesting stuff in the Middle East as I discovered when I took a break to read up-to-the-minute news and analysis at the Captain’s Quarters. The Lebanese government is falling, Hezbollah is fighting harder, and Israel may
Continue readingLet’s see. In the last week, Iran, an UN member nation, has (once again, ’cause it’s done it before) called for the destruction of Israel, another UN member nation. Now, Iran, an UN member nation (although God alone knows why) admits that it is supplying long range missiles to a
Continue readingIsrael has, for years, had missiles rain down upon her, and suicide bombers work from within. Since her inception, every Arab nation has called for her destruction and the death of her citizens. In the last year, her Arab neighbors have given her the gift of more than 2,000 missiles
Continue readingDecades ago, when I still naively believed that the UN was an organization that would preserve world peace, I knew that certain Evangelical Christians believed it to be a harbinger of the Anti-Christ’s One World government, and a precursor to the End of Days. How I laughed at their religious
