Comments on There is no cure for the UN by Mark Steyn

Thank you for bringing us Mark Steyn and his comments. We need him dearly here in Canada but are now confined to the excellent Western Standard to read him. The information in this column should be shouted from the rooftops – but – nobody wants to listen. Bravo to The Spectator

Brilliant analysis!. I must admit that, as an American, I think we should just leave the UN, kick them out to Brussels, and then accidentally bomb Brussels flat. That way, we’d destroy two transnational organizations with one shot.

How did they get away with it for so long? In 2001 I worked for a while in an accounting firm with a large number of clients who were Australians of Iraqi origin. They were honest businessmen who paid their taxes on the dot. At least two of them had signed authorities from one of Saddam’s sons, so they said, to sell unlimited quantities of oil at a couple of dollars below the spot price on any given day in return for a commission of 50 cents a barrel.
