The French Club

In a recent posting, blogger Melanie Phillips, was spot on in her article about the United Nations. It is a corrupt terror club. Professor Raphael Israeli proposals are moral, rational and doable. Read it all.

If you needed more proof of the need to replace the United Nations entirely, there is this from the Globe and Mail

Russia, China, Pakistan and Algeria yesterday opposed a threat of sanctions against Sudan in a U.S.-drafted UN resolution aimed at keeping the pressure on Khartoum until atrocities in the western region of Darfur stop, diplomats said. Although there was no outright opposition to the draft resolution before the Security Council, and strong support from Europeans, diplomats said the four countries objected to using the word 'sanctions,' against Khartoum, preferring only a threat of 'further action.'

At initial negotiations on a revised draft, envoys said there was no agreement on a provision demanding that Sudan face unspecified UN sanctions within 30 days if it did not arrest and prosecute Arab militia leaders, called janjaweed, accused of abusing civilians. The 15-month conflict has killed at least 30,000 people, forced villagers into concentration-camp type compounds and left two million people without enough food and medicine.

Once again, the U.N. will be voluntary spectators at another mass murder, crippled by their own entangling alliances. That presupposes that the U.N. actually has good intentions, something that is entirely doubtful.

The totally corrupted U.N. and the myriad so-called humanitarian and development aid agencies they direct and fund and the NGOs who act in concert with the U.N. and the media who shield them and promote them ought to be called the French Club. Few countries display such dispicable self-interest and sheer destructiveness for destructiveness sake than does France. China might act out of ideology. North Korea certainly does. You can even understand the virulence of Islamofascists to a certain extent. All are more rational than France, a scoundrel nation that delights in sowing the seeds of corruption in every corner of the globe, driven by a hatred born of deep anger at lack of recognition of her own perceived greatness, the slighted mistress nation of history.
