U.S. channeling Bolton, the bully, with UNESCO payment default
Tuesday, November 1st, 2011
Remember John Bolton, the proud hater of the United Nations who was appointed U.S. ambassador to it by Pres. Bush? He said the U.S. didn’t need the UN. The U.S. is the bully on the block; its “exceptionalism” allows it to make its own rules with little regard to opinions of the rest of the world. On Oct. 31, the U.S. just thumbed its nose at UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and Bolton would approve. David Killion, the rep to UNESCO voted to block admission of Palestine to the organization against 107 other nations that voted for inclusion, 13 others voted against and 52 countries abstained. With Killion’s vote, the U.S. will withhold its $60 million payment in Nov. (22% of UNESCO’s total budget). [The bully's picking up his toys and leaving in a pout.] American fear of worldwide acceptance of, and tolerance for, Palestine as a state jeopardizes the many good works of UNESCO.
