From the Wall Street Journal:

Saddam Hussein managed to pull off the $100 billion Oil for Food scam right under the noses of the United Nations officials charged with administering it. Now another dictator with nuclear ambitions has succeeded in a similar trick, this time manipulating the United Nations Development Program in North Korea.

The United Nations long ago devolved into a speaking society whose prime purpose seems to be providing a forum for petty tyrants to denounce the United States. More recently, the U.N. has become one giant slush fund for some of the worst dictators in the world.

All the while, American taxpayers foot the bill for 22% of the U.N.’s budget, despite the fact that the U.S. is only one of 192 members of the U.N.

It’s getting to the point where I’m beginning to wonder why we allow this abomination to occupy some of the most valuable real estate in the world...
