"Once again the "international community" is clamoring for the United
Nations to fix things in the Middle East. It's reminiscent of an
episode of "The Simpsons" in which Homer is in dire straits. In a
panic, he yells heavenward, "I'm not normally a praying man, but if
you're up there, please save me, Superman!" For some fetishists of
multilateralism, the U.N. seems to fill this odd space in their brains
once reserved for God, providence, the czar or even the Man of Steel -
whatever force of good that can save civilization from evil. If
religion is the opiate of the masses, then the United Nations is the
opiate of the elites." -- Jonah Golberg
Jonah Goldberg from the National Review Online had the above witty comment in his latest article:
The Great U.N. Delusion -- Townhall.com
He hits the nail right on the head when he says that the UN is like a false idol to leftists. As Dennis Prager has said, the less you believe in God, the more you need to believe in humanity to cure evil. And it's only natural to uphold the UN as the greatest human organization in history. However, a quick look at their track record reveals that they've done anything but make the world a better place.
Face it, the UN only works in theory. In reality, it is the United States and free societies that have made the world better.
"In case of a real emergency, please hang up and dial America." -- This should be the UN's slogan
