U.S. $$$$ for UN Rapes

"U.S. taxpayers bankroll the U.N. with $10 billion a year. Our hard-earned money perpetuates an organization that validates the most savage human-rights abusers on the globe, regularly votes against the U.S., and targets America's ally Israel for extinction.

Past American presidents have poured billions of our money into U.N. 'peacekeeping' operations that prop up corrupt dictatorships and subject local populations to rape with stomach-turning frequency. Women and children often have more to fear from the U.N.'s blue-bereted soldiers than the ravages of war...

The organization's most revolting failures are in peacekeeping. The U.N. Security Council has exclusive authority to approve these military missions. The U.S. has a veto in that body, but pathetically it has failed to use it, instead rubberstamping wasteful missions in some 50 hotspots around the world since 1990. U.N. forces can only go into a country with the consent of the prevailing regime, which means U.N. soldiers stay for years to prop up dictatorships that have little local support.

Even worse, U.N. forces have become notorious for raping women and children. So-called peacekeepers sent to the Central African Republic raped more than 100 girls in one community. Four of the girls were tied up and forced to have sex with a dog. Amnesty International is outraged by the frequency of these sexual crimes and their pervasiveness. Sexual assaults by U.N. personnel have been documented in Bosnia, Burundi, Cambodia, Congo, Guinea, Haiti, Kosovo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Mali, and Sudan...

Although we are the U.N.'s largest backer, the organization has ignored the real threats to American security. It has done nothing to halt Islamic terrorist groups like al-Qaida and ISIS, instead ginning up false claims against Israel.

Better to spend U.S. dollars fortifying our own defense capabilities rather than on U.N. peacekeeping boondoggles around the globe."
