Reason # 852 that the UN Should Be Discarded

Richard over at Dead Republican Presidents likes to lay a whup on the UN from time to time, and I heartily encourage it. I don't usually post about it here, but I ran across this nugget while reading the December 13th edition of National Review.

The article was discussiing the possibilities of an increased chance for peace in the Middle East with the elections for the Palestinian Authority. While discussing the methods that Arafat used to maintain his control in 'elections', and how that would change, David Pryce-Jones wrote:

"After Arafat's death, the UN flew its flag at half mast, a mark of respect it did not show to Ronald Reagan."

We can't leave that 'organization' soon enough for my liking.
