Doers Vs. the United Nations

Henry Lamb has written an article in Renew America titled Time to dump the U.N.
Even the most enthusiastic Progressives have to be thoroughly disgusted with the U.N. officials who, like Navi Pillay, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, demand a full report from the U.S. about the bin Laden operation.
...There is no justification for the United States to pay 22-percent of the U.N. budget, and 25-percent of the U.N. peacekeeping budget. ...This money goes to pay the expenses of many of the delegates from developing countries who consistently vote against the interests of the United States. This is nothing short of madness.
...It is high time the U.S. got out of the U.N. and kicked the U.N. out of the U.S.

After a post I wrote titled Ignoring Dictators about the United Nations, I received an email from Gary Stark in which he asked, "Why does the world ignore dictators? His response was as follows.

"Because UN allows dictators to join. That's fundamentally the problem and MUST be addressed if we're ever to achieve world peace."
Mr. Stark's solution to a better U.N. can be seen in the video below as well on the website http://www.UnitedDemocraticNations.org

I wrote back an email to him in which I stated, "I give you a lot of credit for doing something instead of just complaining, or in my case, writing about it."

I will never forget an article written by Rav Aryeh Zev Ginzberg titled Doers Vs. Bloggers.
The world has always been divided into two categories, the doers and the non-doers: the minority who dedicate their days and nights for the community at large, and the majority who are content to just sit on the sidelines and be passive observers to all that goes on around them.

I congratulate Mr. Stark on being a doer and wish him success in his endeavors. Now, let's all go out and change the world for the better by being doers.
