The US & the United Nations

The United States gives out $13.3 billion tax dollars in direct Foreign Aid annually.

The United States is above and beyond the single most generous benefactor of the United Nations, donating $2.4 billion dollars of YOUR money, to primarily third-world dictators.
This amount is 25% of the United Nations budget.

In addition, the United States also gives another $1.4 billion tax dollars to United Nations' programs and agencies. The American taxpayers fund more for the United Nations than ALL of the other 177 member nations COMBINED.

What most Americans do not realize is that the vast majority of the recipients of the of US Foreign Aid routinely vote against the wishes of the United States in the United Nations at an average rate of 74%.

In other words, of the $13.3 billion tax dollars invested in direct Foreign Aid only about 26% or $3.5 billion went to support people who endorsed American initiatives or causes.

A staggering $9.8 billion tax dollars went to causes and people who were and are in open and direct opposition to the United States' interests and objectives.

Listed below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations' records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
*Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
*United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
*Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
*Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
*Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
*Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
*Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
*Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
*Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
*Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
*Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
*Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
*Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
*India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
*Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
*Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

In the last year The Taliban terrorized the people of Afghanistan and gave safe haven to Osama Bin Laden, they received $143,000,000 in US Foreign Aid.

Sudan voted 75% against the United States and received $1,121,000 in US Foreign Aid. (The US State Department stated that the Sudanese government is guilty of providing a safe haven for a variety of terrorist groups including Osama Bin Laden's organization, The Egyptian Jihad, The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hamas. The Islamic government has also conducted a literal reign of terror against the Christians living in the southern part of the country.)

The Palestinian Authority will receive $500 million dollars in U.S. Foreign Aid over the next five years(!!!) This happened due to the Oslo "Agreement" of 1993, a deal which was endorsed and avidly supported by now New York Senator Hillary Clinton, who was then First Lady. The Clinton Administration sought to establish good relations with terrorist groups despite their support of terrorism and anti-Western stances. The Palestinians were seen on ABC News openly celebrating and dancing in the streets at the news of both suicide bombings on Sept. 11th.

Israel, it must be noted, receives three billion in US Foreign Aid. However, for the last five years it has an average record of voting with the United States 94% of the time.

There is clearly no incentive for most countries to support the United States, as they will receive US Foreign Aid regardless of their stances.

Perhaps it is time for the United States to deny things such as money, scientific, technological, medical expertise, and education to nations who simply will not assist or protect American interests?

:mad:
 
The "oil for food" racket the UN was running in Iraq is enough to piss a guy off, too.

If the American people new the specifics of the UN, we would kiss that sorry bunch of SOB's goodbye for ever. Even Gore voters are smart enough to figure out the UN is WORTHLESS (If you speak slowly and spell out the big words for them)
 
Yeah, it's true that many of the countries receiving foreign aid do not support the USA. But that's the whole point of the UN. It lets smaller countries have a voice in a world where they would otherwise be ignored. The amount of foreign aid has nothing at all to do with whether or not a country supports the US, nor should it. If foreign aid depended on a country's stance on a certain issue, the UN would be pointless because every country would vote for the side that gave them aid. The UN is in place to let every country have a hand in the affairs of the globe, and to make sure that no destructive super powers can come into control.
