The United Nations' reputation has been battered in recent years by corruption surrounding the Iraq "oil-for-food" program, and by revelations of sexual abuse by U.N. peacekeeping troops.
However, the world body's problems are worse than a few scandalous headlines, Nathan Tabor argues in his new book, "The Beast on the East River: The U.N. Threat to America's Sovereignty and Security."
Mr. Tabor, a former Republican congressional candidate, is owner of TCVmedia.com, an Internet technology firm, and founder of TheConservativeVoice.com Web site. The following are excerpts of a recent e-mail interview with Mr. Tabor
:Question: Most people think of the United Nations as a respectable organization dedicated to peace and other humanitarian goals. Does the U.N. deserve this reputation?
Answer: Yes and no. The U.N. has done some good. However, if you are an organization dedicated to stopping human rights violations, then you ought to deal with Darfur, child slavery, forced abortions in China and Africa, and you definitely should fight to protect the sovereignty of nations. Their stated goals of upholding human rights, stamping out AIDS, etc., are all laudable, but the means they use are unconscionable. If Americans were aware of some of the atrocities perpetrated by the U.N., their blood would run cold. The U.N. thinks nothing of imposing forced abortions on villagers in sub-Saharan Africa in an attempt to stem poverty. However, at least the goal of decreasing poverty is a noble one. One cannot say the same about their unstated goals -- specifically, increasing their own power and cash flow, and finding ways to become increasingly unaccountable to their own member states.
