America Goes Begging

After going to our NATO allies hat in hand, seeking help in Afghanistan and being rebuffed, Obama is now being turned away by the UN as he seeks sanctions against North Korea. To ask a body that cheered End time Islamist messianist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he spoke then announced he felt God speaking to him on the stage and loudly applauded Hugo Chavez when he said Bush had left the odor of sulfur behind, is demeaning the nation yet again. For the last superpower to ask for the tender mercies of Sudan and Libya is ridiculous. The UN long since should have been asked to leave New York and be sent packing to Geneva. A confederacy of willing, like minded democracies should have replaced it during the Cold War when it became a debating society and forum to side with the Soviets and have so-called non-aligned nations which were mostly puppets of the Reds act as if they were equals of the US and serve as a constant nuisance and financial burden to America all the while thwarting collective action that would have advanced justice. Asking a body of tyrannies to help on any international concern is fool hearty and counterproductive. A body dominated by the bad will never do good and only a moron or patsy would ask them.
