[THIS MAY POSSIBLY "TICK" YOU OFF!!!]
THIS MAY POSSIBLY "TICK" YOU OFF!!! The United States gives out $13.3 billion tax dollars in direct Foreign Aid annually. The United States is above and beyond the single most generous benefactor of the United Nations, donating $2.4 billion dollars of YOUR money, to primarily third-world dictators. This amount is 25% of the United Nations budget. In addition, the United States also gives another $1.4 billion tax dollars to United Nations' programs and agencies. The American taxpayers fund more for the United Nations than ALL of the other 177 member nations COMBINED. What most Americans do not realize is that the vast majority of the recipients of the of US Foreign Aid routinely vote against the wishes of the United States in the United Nations at an average rate of 74%. In other words, of the $13.3 billion tax dollars invested in direct Foreign Aid only about 26% or $3.5 billion went to support people who! endorsed American initiatives or causes. A staggering $9.8 billion tax dollars went to causes and people who were and are in open and direct opposition to the United States' interests and objectives. Listed 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. US 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 in US Foreign Aid. 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 it along. |

snip boring trivia
Pass it along. Just goes to prove the old saying that Americans have more money than sense! Maybe they should try and sort out their own backyard before trying to sort out everyone elses. Then perhaps people will stop trying to blow them up. Now - I expect that will probably 'tick' off a few of our American cousins....... |

The UN is worthless and ineffective at best. No one takes it seriously, except maybe for the french, who use it as a political tool. Screw the UN, and its security council. It's a waste of money and resources. Nato is where the US should be spending it's money. |

If everybody is voting against us all the time, perhaps we should look at some of the positions we're taking...... |

The cradle of civilisation was the 'near East' - see map: http://carlos.emory.edu/ODYSSEY/gif-still/nemap.gif Are we now to believe that civilisation has moved to Tennessee or in that region ? |
