As a matter of fact, more than 50% of member states are delinquent on their dues.  The UN can't even collect it's dues..damn that's "working" for ya.




Unless I'm mistaken, your CLAIM was that if the U.S. pulled its funding, the UN would collapse. So is this what you'd call a diversionary tactic?

There's a world of difference between pulling dues permanently and being late, yet catching up.  A permanent retraction of funds would be fatal to the UN.

That's your claim. Can you support it? If the U.S. pulled its dues for several years and the U.N. didn't collapse, there's not much weight to your claim that the U.N. couldn't get along without U.S. money. I know it gives some people a nice warm feeling to think that the world couldn't get by without the U.S. but I suspect that there were probably people in the former Soviet Union that believed the same thing about the U.S.S.R.

Think about it.  The UN is like any other business that can tolerate late payment as long as it knows it's going to get money in the end, which is the case with the UN.  Most companies can run in the red for extended periods and still stay afloat.  Does that mean that they can survive FOREVER with with a 25% loss of income?  No.  It just mean they can make it short term.

Anyways.  As much as I would love to see us leave that international circus, we never will.  Any system that allows coutries like China and Lybia to hold seats in their council for human rights needs to be disbanded.

Back on topic, I see that Mollohan has Robert Byrd campaigning for him.  Nothing like having a kleagle to recruit support for you, I guess.
