Buy This Book The UN: why it's time to close down this failed, morally bankrupt organization (before Kerry and Hillary get a chance to turn our foreign policy over to Kofi Annan) Now a New York Times Bestseller! Inside the Asylum by Jed Babbin Democrats believe that America's national security and foreign policy should be made subservient to the United Nations and Old Europe. That means that if John Kerry and Hillary Clinton have their way, Kofi Annan and Jacques Chirac will gain veto power over American foreign policy. But in Inside the Asylum, Jed Babbin reminds us that we've been down this road before, during the presidency of Bill Clinton -- and it leads to failure. In this book, he shows why. Babbin takes you deep inside the UN, showing you the inner workings of this out-of-control organization that richly deserves the nickname "the Asylum." He details how the UN has eagerly adopted the role of handmaiden to international terrorism, and explores the outrageous oil-for-food program that shows that it is the UN, not the U.S., that has sold its soul for oil. The UN oil-for-food program, according to Babbin, "provided Saddam Hussein with the means to bribe politicians, to deprive his people of needed food and medicine, and to literally steal billions of dollars. There is even emerging evidence that money from the program might have gone to support al Qaeda." And that's just the beginning. The UN, Babbin explains, is riddled with mismanagement and incompetence: his tour of the UN bureaucracy is positively hair-raising. But the UN's fatal flaws are deeper; they're built into its very nature, and they're getting worse. They start at the top: Babbin takes Kofi Annan to the woodshed in a richly documented exploration of how the universally lionized UN Secretary General is in reality just a symptom of the UN's disease: a perversely anti-American moral relativist who misses no opportunity to arrogate power to the UN. Jed Babbin tears the cover off the UN, revealing: · How the UN, for America, is now a quagmire of diplomacy in which wars can be lost but not won and terrorism is watched but not stopped · The UN Security Council: how this grouping -- supposedly the world's strongest force for peace -- is interested only in tying down the U.S. and making any American action taken without UN permission illegitimate in the eyes of the world · Tolerance for terrorism: how members of the terrorist group Hezbollah get along wonderfully with UN "peacekeepers" in southern Lebanon · The UN: not only financially, but also morally and intellectually corrupt -- even to the point of whitewashing graphic proof of Iraqi abuse, torture, and murder of American prisoners of war · How France, the self-appointed leader of Old Europe, challenges American action on every economic, diplomatic, and military front in order to support its false claim to global power · Kofi Annan: why he is the most activist, self-serving, and dangerous secretary-general the UN has ever had -- and how he has sought to expand the UN's power for its own sake · How Slick Willie again and again acted against the best interests of the United States, and subjected his foreign policy to UN direction -- with fatal consequences · The principal weakness of the EU -- and why the United States should expect no friendship or help from this Frankenstein-like conglomeration of states · Why it is so important today that the United States reform its alliances to fit reality, rather than the past, and end its membership in the UN Despite their pretensions to superiority, says Babbin, the United Nations and the European Union are morally bankrupt - and increasingly determined in their opposition to the true leader of the free world, the United States. In this book, he demonstrates beyond all doubt that America is playing and must continue to play the international peacekeeper role that the UN was created to play, and that (unlike the UN and the EU) only America is unwilling to kowtow to tyranny and terrorism. Babbin provides mountains of compelling evidence to prove that no American president should ever defer to the United Nations. In fact, he argues that to do so violates the President's primary duty of protecting and defending the Constitution and the national security of our country. Yet despite all this, America remains the UN's chief enabler. Bill Clinton, of course, energetically abetted Kofi Annan's power grabs. Since then the organization has not lacked for vocal and powerful supporters. But Babbin provides abundant evidence here that to try to reform the UN would be a fool's errand, and that it's time to cut our ties both with that increasingly anti-American organization and with the doomed, sclerotic welfare states of Old Europe. "We owe no tribute to the UN and the EU," declares Babbin. "We should look after our own defense." The United Nations headquarters building in Manhattan is an international enclave, no longer American territory. Inside the Asylum is a powerful argument that it's time to reclaim that land for America. Jed Babbin's bestselling Inside the Asylum is now available for almost 30% off the bookstore price.

Buy This Book >From "the senior satirist of the right": a wickedly funny tour of the new world order Peace Kills by P.J. O'Rourke With more citations in The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations than any other living writer, P.J. O'Rourke has established himself as America's premier conservative satirist. His latest collection, Peace Kills, is O'Rourke at his funniest and most incisive -- an eye-opening look at a world much changed since he declared in his number-one bestseller Give War a Chance that the most troubling aspect of war is sometimes peace itself. To unravel the mysteries of war, P.J. first visits Kosovo, where "NATO tried to start World War III without hurting anyone." Talking to KLA veterans, Albanian refugees, and peacekeepers doing their best impression of Santa Claus, P.J. confronts the paradox of "the war that war-haters love to love." He travels from Egypt, "the cradle of tourism," to Israel at the height of the intifada and ponders, "What if people who had been away for ages, out and on their own, suddenly showed up at their old home and demanded to move back in? My friends with grown-up children tell me this happens all the time." After September 11, P.J. turns his attention to a country gripped by change, from the absurd hassles of airport security, to the strange ways of "post-modern protesters." P.J. covers the fighting in Afghanistan, a war which was even briefer than the news theme jingles, and then forges on to Iraq -- where he arrives in Baghdad with the U.S. Army and, standing in one of Saddam's palaces, decides: "If a reason for invading Iraq was needed, felony interior decorating would have sufficed." And he covers the demonstrations and the denunciations of war: "French ideas, French beliefs, and French actions form a sort of lodestone for humanity. A moral compass needle needs a butt end: Whatever direction France is pointing -- toward collaboration with Nazis, accommodation with communists, existentialism, Jerry Lewis, or a UN resolution veto -- we can go the other way with a quiet conscience." "The senior satirist of the right returns to dissect foreign policy and -- Lord help us -- he seems to have moments of distinct sanity. . . . Checking out ravaged Iraq, his backgrounder journalism is first-rate and, reviewing a Washington Mall political demonstration, his color reportage is smartly selective and funny. . . . From far away and within the Beltway, thoughtful pronouncements from one possible candidate for the office of Secretary of Moral Guidance and Public Relations (soon to be established)." -- Kirkus Reviews Click here: http://www.hebookservice.com/bookpage.asp?prod_cd=C6491&sour_cd=HAE028701 Web Site Links: Home | About HEBS | Special Sales | Customer Service About the Human Events Book Service Human Events Book Service was designed to bring you the best conservative books available, at the best prices....no strings attached.
