Thursday, February 20, 2003 Editor's note: Are you ready for the Second American Revolution?

Nowhere in the Constitution do I see any provision for our federal government participating in an organization of nations that has dreams of governing the world. I do, however, see in the writings of the founders many warnings about foreign entanglements and permanent alliances that can threaten to draw this sovereign nation into the conflicts of the old world. If the U.N. were just a debating society, I guess my problems with it would be minimal. But too many Americans seem to think this country needs the permission of the U.N. to act in its own self-interest, to protect the security of the nation. Let's not forget that we were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. France wasn't attacked. Germany wasn't attacked. The U.N. wasn't attacked. We were attacked by adherents to a fierce, fascistic ideology I call jihadism. After that attack, President Bush rightly told the nation we would pursue those adherents to the ends of the earth. Any nation that supported them would be subject to our wrath. The first country to feel that wrath was Afghanistan, whose rulers refused to turn over al-Qaida terrorists they had harbored and supported for years even while receiving aid from the U.S. and the United Nations. We didn't slaughter the civilian population of Afgha- nistan, but we toppled the Islamo-fascist Taliban regime and replaced it with a more enlightened one, liberating the population of the country as a side benefit of carrying out our own strategic interests. While the struggle to find Osama bin Laden continues, this war on the Islamo-fascists who attacked us is shifting to a new venue. Iraq has supported al-Qaida for more than a decade. It provided bases. It provided money. It provided arms. It even provided the fuselage of a Boeing 707 in which al-Qaida terrorists could practice commandeering a commercial airlin- er all before Sept. 11. Did Iraq plan Sept. 11? We don't know. But we do know Baghdad is complicit because of its support of the terror- ists before, during and after Sept. 11. In addition, Iraq poses a bigger threat than the Tali- ban. Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction. Few doubt Baghdad would think twice about putting them in the hands of terrorists determined to deploy them in the United States. Nevertheless, the U.N. debates. The U.N. stalls. I say, that's fine. Let the U.N. debate, while the U.S. acts. Why is everyone so afraid of unilateral action? The U.S. should act on its own timetable, welcome any allies who want to join in the mission of toppling Saddam Hussein, destroying his arsenal and rooting out the terrorists. But let's stop worrying about the U.N. If all goes well, the U.N. will continue to debate, continue to stall. Then the American people can see how irrelevant this organization is. They can see how useless it is. They can see how it serves no U.S. interest to belong. They can see that their hard-earned tax dollars are support- ing an ineffective globalist power broker that is toothless without U.S. troops to carry out its will. We should not be willing to host it any longer. We should not be willing to be members any longer. We should not be willing to subsidize this organization any longer. It's time to pull the plug on the U.N. Let's go about our business as a sovereign nation. Let the American people, and the American people alone, chart their own destiny, protect their own interests, take care of their own security needs. Into this scenario walks Bill Clinton a man without portfolio, except as a former U.S. president. The word on the street is he wants to be the next secretary-general of the U.N. He's campaigning for it, according to one column. They say he would be the first American to run the U.N., but that isn't quite true. Because Bill Clinton has never really been an American. He's always been a citizen of the world first. He's still a politician on the make always desperately looking for that next office. Where else can he go after serving as president? If it's true, it would be quite fitting. Bill Clinton and the U.N. deserve each other. Let's bid them both a fond farewell. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31140 -------------------------------------------------- Joseph Farah's nationally syndicated column origi- nates at WorldNetDaily, where he serves as editor and chief executive officer.
