How the World Votes in the UN

From Snopes !

How they vote at the U.N.!

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

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. Everyone needs to know this. Might even mention it to your congressman, who knows this anyway... what a disgrace... no wonder the world has no respect for us.

Do I sense a failed Foreign Policy??

New Idea, Lets use the oil we can extract from this country.And that includes bio-fuels , synthetic fuels, and mass transit.
Mono rails will work for most people in large cities.
We just found the funding!!

Even Kuwait is on that list...I thought we liberated them from Saddam Hussein in 1990. Heck, I thought they wanted to be a free nation. And do you know what would happen to those countries if we put a trade embargo on them?

What Snopes also says that ramlovingvet's article "conveniently" leaves out
from http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/unvote.asp

The majority of General Assembly resolutions are adopted without a vote.

Unless a recorded vote is specifically requested before a resolution is voted upon, the U.N. makes available a voting summary which provides only a tally of the final vote, not a listing of how individual Member States voted.

Nearly every resolution ends up with some Member States either abstaining or failing to vote on it. When countries abstain from voting on a resolution which the U.S. either supports or opposes, are those countries to be regarded as voting against the U.S. (because they failed to support its vote), or are they to be considered as neutral parties neither for nor against the U.S.?

Quite often U.N. votes address the issue of whether a single paragraph (or even just a few words) in the draft of a resolution should be changed or omitted. When the U.S. otherwise supports a resolution but seeks to change some of its wording, are other countries to be regarded as voting against the U.S. if they do not also vote in favor of the alterations?

Facts are facts and I didnt conveniently leave anything out.
And I sure dont trust most US Universities to give facts. Talk about Left Lie Mills.

The UN is anti USA

A couple of days ago he was on the Mitch Albom show he made it absolutely clear that he has no intention of running in any way shape or form. When Mitch asked him bluntly who he is voting for he clearly said George W. Bush I guess we now know where he is at.
BTW does anyone know how much foreign aide the U.S receives from any other country. Does all of this add up to we have to take our tax dollars and spend them in support of those that would rather see us dead and defeated? Does anyone doubt that the foreign aide goes up when the Dem's have been at the wheel. IMHO foreign aide needs to start right here and stop being dolled out of our pockets for no benefit here. You want our aide and comfort then support our constitution and ideas otherwise put their hands in some other pocket.
