Letter: United Nations a complete failure

Friday, Feb. 21, 2003 | 4:22 a.m.

The time has long been gone when we should have gotten out of the United Nations. It is a complete failure as was the "League of Nations" after World War I.

The United Nations has had 12 years to see that Iraq divested itself of all weapons of mass destruction. Where has the U.N. Security Council been hiding all these years while Saddam Hussein has been playing games on the U.N, and killing his own people?

Our military is spread all over the world at our expense and we lose some of our fine young people for these policing actions. When will our people and politicians wake up to the fact that the U.N. is not in our best interest at best, but a course leading to the "New World Order"?

Now is the time to get us out of the U.N.
