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. Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time. 3 examples of US Foreign Aid to those that hate us: Egypt votes 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. And what about votes cast by the United States so-called European Union friends? These 15 weak-kneed allies collectively voted against the United States more than 50 percent of the time. The bottom line is that the United States has more enemies than friends in the world body. Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes. warm regards -bud PS: Israel votes with the United States 93 percent of the time.

Guest Blind_Guardian Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Just because somenone helped you in the past does not mean that you should agree with them on everything. I'm sure you wouldnt agree with atheists just because you were helped by one would you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being sincerely thankful is enough. Maybe instead of just showing the statistics of how they vote you should show what issues were being voted on. That will show a clearer picture of whether the votes against the US are 'disrespectful' or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UN is possibly one of the most corrupt organizations known to man. The LA Times came out 7 days ago with an article showing that many of the UN leaders have taken the money that we sent for peace keeping operations and instead used it to buy themselves Mercedes and other luxurious items. Yet, that is merely the top of the corruption. The cases of rape and human rights violations increases whenever there are UN peacekeepers in an area. Plus the UN inherently supports rogue nations and have proven this by putting Syria, a terrorist supporting nation and labeled as so by the UN since 1970, on the Security Councel. The UN is beyond reform and has run its course, it's time to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have been reading there is a movement to oust annan and put Bill Clinton in as secretary general. Now that is something that could keep you up nights thinking about..... 2008 Bill Clinton in the UN and Arnold as president.......... God help us all.....
