Kurzbeschreibung
Babbin details how the United Nations actively pursues anti-American policies and appeases America's enemies, while being largely funded by $3 billion worth of annual American dues. After revealing the depth of rampant corruption in the UN, Babbin concludes that it is time to recognize the changes in Old Europe and redesign America's alliances that line up with America's national interests.
Synopsis
A former Undersecretary of Defense for the first Bush administration strongly advises the United States to withdraw support from the United Nations, arguing that it, with the European Union countries, undermines American interests.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In this well-researched work, the author reveals the rampant corruption, incompetence, mismanagement and support for terrorism at the UN. Amongst the most disturbing revelations are the co-operation between Hezbollah and the UN contingent in southern Lebanon, how the organization has closed its eyes to the Iranian nuke program and how the US taxpayer's money is wasted on parasitical bureaucrats.
Both the UN and the European Union are morally and financially bankrupt and they both try to undermine the USA at every opportunity. The UN was intended to be a forum for settling disputes in order to avoid war. But today it enables terrorists and makes deals with dictators. It has failed miserably in all that it was supposed to do, and become a den of third world kleptocrats. It has in fact become the foremost institution of moral inversion, where right is wrong and good is evil.
Babbin explores the Oil For Food scam, the role of Kofi Annan, and other UN dealings with rogue states and dictators. He details the failures of the organization and the reasons for it. The prime cause is moral equivalence: the fact that democratic nations and oppressive regimes have equal status. He provides proposals on how to limit and constrain the influence of this nest of criminals but suggests that the ultimate solution would be a complete US pullout.
The second part takes a long hard look at countries like France and Belgium. They are the core of Old Europe, the decadent and failing welfare states united in envy against the United States. Old Europe has never encountered a dictator it couldn't do business with. The EU elites also suffer from moral equivalence and a profound hatred of the USA and Israel.
Babbin devotes a chapter to NATO, an organization for which there is hope as it is an alliance of democratic states that share the same values and objectives, especially with the influx of members from New Europe. He also suggests that a new international organization be formed, one that only allows as members those states that permit freedom of religion and the press and where there is respect for the rule of law.
The book concludes with an extensive appendix of verifiable sources that confirm the author's blistering indictment. I also recommend The UN Gang by Pedro Sanjuan, Tower Of Babble by Dore Gold, Global Deception by Joseph Klein and The UN Exposed by Eric Shawn. For more information on Old Europe, I recommend Menace In Europe by Claire Berlinski and While Europe Slept by Bruce Bawer.

At first, I thought Inside the Asylum was going to be a 2, at most 3 star book. I suspected it would provide little information other than the standard clichés against the UN that one hears on talk radio. Well, Inside the Asylum proved to be a 5 star book instead. Solidly researched and presented, it provides sobering facts and insights as to the real UN, not the idealistic, utopian version you might have in your head. The real UN is an irrelevant, corrupt mess. I used to gasp at horror when someone suggested that the US leaving the UN. I now see that the UN is so incompetent and ineffective and downright corrupt that leaving it would be a blessing. The UN does little to actually fight terrorism, or to promote freedom and dignity of peoples around the world. Its main purpose is to fatten the wallets and increase the power of UN insiders, and to provide a means for petty dictatorships to weaken the United States. The author's suggestion that the US should leave the UN and focus on forming alliances with countries that really are for freedom and democracy came across as a breath of fresh air. If you care about foreign affairs, politics, and American autonomy, Inside the Asylum should be one of your "must reads" of the summer. You will definitely look at those politicians who say "we must go to the UN before we act" in a more jaundiced way than you did before.

"Inside the Asylum: Why the UN and Old Europe are Worse than You Think" by Jed Babbin
5 stars
The UN is broken and can't be fixed. In "Inside the Asylum: Why the UN and Old Europe are Worse than You Think," Jed Babbin answers a critical question that bears directly on the 2004 election. George Bush has relied too much on the UN, and is defeated there again and again. Why? Why is NATO -- successful in the Cold War -- now more a political fraternity than a military alliance?
This book could just as easily have been called "The Decline and Fall of the West" because it shows how the Western -- i.e., NATO -- nations have split apart. No longer sharing basic values, the nations that banded together to win the Cold War now can't even agree on what terrorism is. And some of them, notably France (which Babbin labels "our enemy"), choose the UN as their favorite mechanism for thwarting American policy.

And some of them, notably France (which Babbin labels "our enemy"), choose the UN as their favorite mechanism for thwarting American policy.
But this isn't a polemic. Babbin does't say we should stomp out of the UN or NATO. He lays out carefully how we can -- and are --laying the foundation of a new global forum that can replace NATO, and which won't suffer the same paralysis, because it won't include the terrorists, dictators, and weasels that now prevent the UN from doing what its founders meant it to do.
In this presidential election, there is a lot of gasbag debate about failed diplomacy. This book should be read by every voter before the election. It proves why we can't rely on the UN for anything, and shows how American leadership succeeds without the UN better than it ever can within it.

Inside the Asylum by Jed Babbin is a must have!!!!!!!
28. Juni 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Israel was created by the UN in 1947 and became a member of the world body two years later. Still, there are those who seek to destroy it. Is there any other UN member state still fighting for its right to exist? Palestinian, Saudi, and Syrian textbooks show maps that omit any mention of Israel. Instead, Israeli and Palestinian areas are combined into one country called Palestine. Inside the Asylum by Jed Babbin has pictures that document the Palestinian, Saudi, mantra of a one-state, solution-just like the maps. One only has to turn to page 155,160,161.
The UN's treatment of Israel has not lived up to the founding spirit that affirmed the equal treatment of member states. There are many others ways in which Israel has been singled out for special treatment at the UN, making it a pariah state. Over the years, nearly every UN body, regardless of its main subject of concern, has been pressed by Arab countries to adopt a special resolution, procedure, or agenda item condemning Israel for its treatment of Palestinians, holding Israel to a different standard than all other countries.
Inside the Asylum by Jed Babbin is a must have. He has documented the how the UN help international terrorist organizations. Inside the Asylum is the reference text that documents the UN is corrupt, scandalous and a threat to our American Policy.
