This ought to upset everybody
This is really sad.
How they vote in the United Nations:
Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic
States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:
Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.
U S Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against
the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.
Jordan votes 71% against the United States
and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States
receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
India votes 81% against the United States
receives $143,699,000 annually.
Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.
Pass this along to every taxpaying citizen you know. And send to your congressman, who should be disgraced but couldn't care less.
Re: This ought to upset everybody
a few surprises here.
we also surveyed the U.N. voting records of several countries generally considered to be close allies of the U.S., and those results were none too impressive either. Only Israel consistently voted with the U.S.:
Country- Times Voted With U.S. -Times Voted Against U.S. - % of Votes Against U.S.
Australia- 33 -26 -44%
Canada- 31- 32- 51%
Israel -56- 7- 11%
Japan -26- 36 -58%
United Kingdom -40- 27- 40%
France -36- 31- 46%

See which compaines do the most biz in the Middle East, and see if you could see a relationship between the fact not too many of these folks have much but oil. Guess if we sorta KEPT some of the cash out of certain hands things might change. That was part of the reason for going to Iraq, the Saudis wanted us out of the country. We needed a new military base. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Re: This ought to upset everybody
One thing I've often meant to do and never taken the time, would a vote from France or Israel count as the same the authority as a vote from China or the USA? Even though the number represented is much greater?
Re: This ought to upset everybody
I think these statements say enough. Yet we still go to their aid and well it's a tradition now.
Wouldn't it be great to have some of that debt paid back or get to keep that money.
Wonder how much we could do here in the US, with all that money we send to countries that despise us. Plus it makes me think if we are not buying, a few countries to keep the peace.

Re: This ought to upset everybody
We should of got rid of the U.N. a long time ago. Have they ever helped us in any way. As far as I can tell they have just sucked on us like leaches for there own personnel gain.
