The majority of nations which comprise the UN are not democracies, nor are they free nations in any real description of the term. Perhaps it's fine for someone to represent those nations, but there's no reason why we should be lumped in with them.

The UN's anti-Americanism is blatant, wherein they can't hold a single summit on any problem without seeking (and finding) a way to blame whatever the problem addressed is on the USA. While persons who dislike the USA and would like to see us "taken down a notch" may find this a good or even joyful thing, there is no reason the United States should support it--and isn't it somebody else's turn to host this freak-show by now, anyway?.

The UN's appointments show that it is not even interested in the problems it pretends to address--such as a summit on arms control headed by Iraq and Iran, or placing Libya as the head of the Civil Rights Committee.

The UN's other actions are not just wrong, or sins by omission, or even petty, but plain and simply evil, and must be stopped. The Oil-for-Food scandal truly doesn't count among these issues, not compared to the other things they've done. Among them is their deliberate decision to stand aside in Rwanda and subsequent refusal to protect Tsutsi refugees from Hutus bent on the utter annihilation of their rival tribe, more of the same in Bosnia, and rampant rape and 'forced prostitution' (wherein someone commits rape, then later gives the victim money or gifts so that they can claim it was prostitution rather than rape) in the Congo.

The United States not only has no need to support this organization, it is a moral imperative that we condemn it and withdraw all support.
