United Nations

The United Nations has approved sanctions against North Korea in an attempt to limit their ability to produce nuclear weapons. After some scandals at the UN in 2008 involving illegal transfers a special committee was established to prevent such activities. This past week it was revealed that some advanced computer programs and equipment were sold to North Korea via a Chinese firm. Upon investigation it was determined that this committee was by-passed and this transaction was approved directly by the Director General of the United Nations Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. He is second in command at the UN and was appointed by top guy Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who is a South Korean. Director General Tokayev is a Russian who received part of his education at a university in China. This is just one more example why the US should get out of the United Nations. This organization covers up all of its corruption by help children around the world but we can do better.
