The United Nations by Debi Ghate

Dear Editor:

Last week a rag-tag group of anti-American countries held their annual “club” meeting in Cuba as they have for the last 30 years. Nobody paid them too much attention and rightly so.

This week, another rag-tag group of anti-American countries, including some that attended the Cuba meeting, held their latest “club” meeting at the United Nations. This time everyone is paying attention to them and they have the world stage.

The United Nations is one of the world’s most corrupt organizations. It allowed the Iranian president, who has called for the destruction of the United States and Israel, an opportunity to address its members. It allowed the Venezualean president to call for the world to unite against America.

That such a meeting occurs on American soil, that our U.N. “ambassador”remains present throughout these speeches, that our President chooses to speak on the same stage, and that we go to this group for “approval” when it comes to defending ourselves, is disgusting.
