The "right" has no respect for the UN so why would they have any respect for any of it's declarations?
It's not just the right that has no respect for the UN. Most people I know have no respect for the UN.
I do agree with Eleanor Roosevelt and the UDHR. However, I don't see that the UN is doing much to prevent things like child soldiers and babies dying from starvation and disease, much less adequate health care.
Rush is an idiot and I agree with gop that people spend too much time listening to him and discussing his views as if they had merit.
It seems to me the UN can't do much if it doesn't have the respect of the people and nations the institution supposedly represents. The declarations of the UN can't mean much when signatories don't abide by their intent. So what would you have the UN do about the problems you cite along with all the other global issues when member nations sign on to lofty principles they have no intent on abiding by?
As for Rush... ignoring the idiot allows him to continue spewing his bile unabated. His stupidity should be exposed and ridiculed for what it is...
Besides... everyone needs a good laugh once in a while.
