A Sad Expensive Comedy Called The United Nations

Here is the latest from that ongoing sad international comedy known as the United Nations. Certainly, Women are not feeling much better now that Iran has been nominated to the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Iran's election comes just a week after one of its senior clerics declared that women who wear revealing clothing are to blame for earthquakes, a statement that created an international uproar.  

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," said the respected cleric, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi.

Iran leading the U.N. Commission on women, unfortunately sounds about right for this corrupt organization.  

Here are some other countries that will better the world with their new positions of responsiblility in the United Nations.   

Seven countries accused of human rights violations, including Libya, Angola and Malaysia, won seats on the U.N. Human Rights Council in an uncontested election Thursday.

The U.N. General Assembly approved all 14 candidates for the 14 seats on the 47-member council by wide margins despite campaigns by human rights groups to deny countries with poor rights records the minimum number of votes needed.

All 14 countries easily topped the 97 votes required from the 192-member world body. Libya, which currently holds the presidency of the General Assembly, received the lowest number of votes — 155 — while Angola got 170 and Malaysia 179. In addition to these three countries, human rights groups criticized the poor rights records of Thailand, Uganda, Mauritania and Qatar which also won seats.

The United Nations charges well in excess of a billion dollars in annual dues. The reality is that through its dues the United States pays for this corrupt organization to exist.  It would be providing a service to the world community to spend United States taxpayer money elsewhere.
