Default Why bother with the UN?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...ns-commission/

UN puts Iran on the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.

You know, Iran. This Iran:


2004, 16 YO girl about to be stoned for crimes against chastity.


Sometimes they get hanged, instead (17 YO):



WTF. Seriously, WTF?

I'd be asking them (UN) to look for a new location somewhere in a country that was unpredictable and potentially very volatile whilst reassuring them they're new friends would look after them.

IMHO the UN has got to be the most expensive quango on the planet Earth

Yes this Iran

The UN has been a joke for a long time. Bunch of popus gas bags full of themselves.

I do think its time to tell them to find a new home and use the assembly building for I dunno housing 'undocumented workers'. It would probably save money in the long run.

Iran, eh? Either Iran has made rapid progress in women's rights, or the UN is just plain:
