Dear Kofi, It? Time remove the U.S. and Israel from the United Nations

MENJ

To the Office of the
Secretary General
of the United Nations,
Kofi Annan
7-30-06

Dear Secretary-General,

I am writing to you with the hope that you will take swift action to address a grave and existential threat to the United Nations. The events in the Middle East are quickly spinning out of control as today? attack on the UN offices in Beirut clearly indicates. The central problem is that the UN is no longer able to fulfill its mandate to ?eep the peace? because of the obstructionism of the United States. In the last few days, 15 foreign ministers met in Rome to determine the appropriate language for a statement calling for an immediate cease-fire to the violence in Lebanon. As you know, the countries unanimously supported the motion except for the United States which blocked the measure to give Israel more time to destroy Lebanon with its vicious air-campaign. I think you will agree that the UN cannot survive if it is hamstrung in its duties by the narrow policy-objectives of the individual states. In this case, both Washington and Tel Aviv want war, and so, war it is.

Just hours after Condoleezza Rice had torpedoed the Peace Initiative, Israeli Justice Minister, Haim Ramon, boasted to the press that Israel had been given ?nternational authorization? to continue its attacks ?ntil Hezbollah is no longer present in southern Lebanon.?

No such ?uthorization? was ever given. Ramon? interpretation was a gross misrepresentation of the Rome statement and it is clearly being manipulated to further justify Israel? gratuitous use of military power on civilian areas. The Israeli Justice Minister? remarks are far from a harmless public relations ploy. They are part of a carefully-calculated plan to use the conference as cover for Israel? brutal onslaught. Later, Ramon made even more worrisome comments about Israel? plans to employ ?uge firepower? in the coming days to crush Hezbollah. He now avers that, ?veryone in southern Lebanon is a terrorist and is connected to Hezbollah?.

Israel now has allies on the Security Council and in the US State Dept who can thwart the majority and allow its barbarous ?corched earth? policy to go ahead unchallenged. The UN has been out-flanked by John Bolton, who blocked the resolution that condemned Israel? massive bombardment, and by Condi Rice, who derailed the peace process in Rome.

Will you be a part of this charade or will you take positive steps to avert the impending tragedy? It is very likely that the hostilities in Lebanon are merely a prelude to a wider war on Damascus and Tehran. Will you stand by while the conflict escalates consuming the entire Middle East or will you do whatever is in your power to stop the violence and to ensure that the UN Charter is faithfully executed? You must seize the initiative and take drastic steps to prevent this tragedy from unfolding.

The United Nations is not expected to provide soldiers or weaponry to stop US/Israeli aggression. That would be foolish. It can, however, discourage aggression by using its ?oral authority? to isolate and condemn the guilty states. We must realize, however, that preserving the peace is impossible if one of the offending nations has a place on the Security Council and can veto any resolution that is not in its interests. That is why, dear Secretary-General, that drastic measures are needed to deal effectively with this dire situation. Here? what you must do:

You must convene an emergency meeting of the General Assembly and vote on whether the United States should be immediately removed from the Security Council. I think you will find that there is broad international support for this proposal. Once the matter is resolved then the US and Israel will be forced to pursue their conflicts outside of the community of nations as lawless pariahs. As you know, the United States depends quite heavily on the UN to conceal its interventions in the developing world behind a smokescreen of international legitimacy. Even now, the Bush administration is trying to access to Sudan? oil and natural gas reserves by feigning concern about the violence in Darfur. It has employed similar tactics throughout the UN? history.

The Bush administration has now decided, however, that it will run the world directly from Washington, subverting the UN when necessary and transforming it into a ?ats-paw? for American aggression and human rights abuse whenever possible. In fact, as you know, John Bolton? package of ?eforms? has been nothing more than a blueprint for turning the UN into a fully-owned franchise of the multinational corporations, the international banking establishment and Israel.

It is up to you, Mr. Secretary, to stop this farce and restore the credibility of the institution.

You must gather your strength and prepare yourself for the fight ahead. The United Nations needs to sever the cord that keeps the United States and Israel within the body of nations. Let them wander through the dessert of isolation for a decade or so while their fortunes turn and their power dissipates. Eventually, they will return to the family of civilized countries eager to face our collective problems together with humility and greater regard for the lives of others.

sincerely,

Mike Whitney 7-30-06

Hello MENJ,
since the letter seems to be more about world politics rather than religion, I move this thread to World Events. The link to this thread will be left in RSF for convenience.
Thank you.

it's true that current events do not side with either the US or Israel but what do we really achieve by removing them the UN? a more peaceful world...meh maybe but otherwise i don't think the world is going to be any better.

i'm not saying that i agree 100% with the US but i most of the UN fundings comes from them. those money are used to help people all over the world, like helping the African nations and what not. not to forget that the UN itself is in the US.

as a superpower, we have to accept the fact that they're capable of anything. just like the british empire centuries ago. this is their time but as with any civilization, they will not last long. it's only a matter of time before their empire starts to collapse. we can clearly see some of the effects now...the devaluation of the dollar is one of them.

Correction. UN no need to remove USA and Israel from UN. In fact, u must understand, where was UN formed and who initiated to call for the formation of UN. That is why there are certain block so powerful in the UN that member countries CANNOT stop this evil acts of theirs.

Thus, we Asians MUST WITHDRAW from the UN. We must pull OUT from the UN. We must ignore the UN. We must isolate the UN. We Asians must form an organisation of our own, something like the EU with broader influence. A confederation of a Unifeid Asia! With this Confederation, we will have our own peace keeping troops consist of only member nations. PEace keeping force which will not be dictated by certain foreign powers. Peace keeping which will be commanded by our own. Where no Asian nation will ever be invaded by foreign powers like what happened in Iraq. IF so do, then those foreign invaders will face the full military might of us Asian brothers. These invaders will think twice before thinking of trying their hands on us.

With this new confederation, we can make the world a better place, a much more peaceful place, without being dictated by the greatest stumbling block to peace. The world's greatest terrorist!

The USA claim to champion democracy and wants to remove all dictators around the world. In fact they are the greatest dictators around the world, trying to dictate others what to do with their own sovereign, their own country. They think they are right and others are wrong. They became very wrong when they tried to force their culture on us.

agree with u ..

however there is USA proxy country in Asia like japan, S Korea and Singapore. Ideal way is to have more powerful Asia country that have vast influence in Asia than those 3 countries.
