Why are the United States still sitting their fat arse on the UN Security Council and assorted United Nations meetings? Have you ever been inside the UN? American staff carry their weight around the place like there's no tomorrow. Trust me, America wants to stay there.

FYI, that last credential is the one that puts him "in charge" of promoting democratic ideals. You might remember those ideals from high school government class....

"Ideals" ? I wasn't subjected to propaganda at the lycee, so I have no idea what you're talking about as above. I did a course on the use of propaganda in history class, however: how extremely nutty, aye?

Kittin, it's the people in our govt. like the useless State Dept who want to remain in the "U.N." not the American People!
Let us vote on it and we'd be out of it tommorrow morning.

Popeye, most people in this country talk to God. That's not a bad thing.

The trouble generally starts when people start asserting that God talks back....

CelticLord, I stand corrected on that.

There is no group of people so altruistic as to not be corrupted by the power inherent in running one country, much less participating in an organization with power over multiple countries.

And there is no group of people so immune to organizational dynamics as to be anything other than useless on such a grand scale.
