Tower of Babble

by Dore Gold

Democrats like John Kerry want to give Kofi Annan and the United Nations authority over American foreign policy. In this appalling new expose, Dore Gold (who served as Israel's UN ambassador from 1997 through 1999) shows why that's one of the worst -- and most dangerous -- ever advanced by an American presidential candidate. Tower of Babble: How the United Nations Has Fueled Global Chaos provides conclusive proof that it is absurd to look to the UN to fight aggression, combat terrorism, and preserve global order.

This hard-hitting book reveals that it is simply a myth that the United Nations is a positive force for world order - much less the "sole source of international legitimacy." The longer it takes our nation and its allies to recognize this, the longer every American citizen's life and security will be in jeopardy due to the self-serving and misguided actions of this supposed "international peacekeeper."

Tower of Babble reveals:

• How the UN jeopardizes the success of the War on Terror -- and how terrorist groups have actually penetrated UN organizations

• Failure foreshadowed: how the UN began failing to meet its responsibility to respond to global acts of aggression as long ago as the 1940s and 1950s

• How the UN enabled a dictator under stringent UN sanctions to get away with rampant corruption

• Why Harry Truman lost his initial enthusiasm and quickly became disillusioned with the UN

• How and why the UN's early moral clarity was soon replaced by a corrosive moral equivalence

• The infamous UN-sponsored 2001 World Conference Against Racism: how the UN allowed it to degenerate into a vicious and unwarranted attack on a UN member state

• Key flaws in the structure of the UN from its earliest days -- and how they have been exploited over the decades by numerous enemies of freedom

• How the UN has abandoned its own principles on numerous occasions

• The little-known incident that first led high-level American officials to take a skeptical view of the UN

• How, in the space of a year, the UN turned a blind eye to two horrifying episodes of mass murder -- and why the slaughters could have been prevented

• The Persian Gulf crisis of 1991: the significant faults it exposed in the UN

• How the UN missed an opportunity to become a more effective force for human rights and global justice at the end of the Cold War

• UN Secretary General U Thant: how his miscalculations and missteps helped ignite the Six Day War of 1967

• Kofi Annan's sorry record on Saddam's Iraq -- leading even the New York Times to say that "no other Secretary General did so much to diminish the moral difference between a killer dictator and the countries that oppose him"

• How the Oil-for-Food scandal only hints at the UN's repeated failures to deal with Saddam Hussein -- who repeatedly made a mockery of the UN as a guarantor of international security

• The 1994 Rwandan genocide: why the UN operated throughout the crisis with blinders on, and ultimately did nothing to stop it

• Why the UN was able to act against North Korean aggression in 1950 with a speed and decision that it will probably never be able to muster again

• The International Criminal Court: why it isn't necessary, and often actually impedes efforts to bring war criminals to justice

• How the UN's new international criminal court threatens America's sovereignty

• Why the UN became hostile to American interests early in its history, and has remained so to this day

• UN follies: how Syria, one of the world's leading state supporters of terrorism, ended up with a seat on the UN Security Council

• The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA): its multiple ties to Islamic terrorist groups

• Lakhdar Brahimi: why Iraqi Shi'ites and Kurds were so concerned when the UN appointed this man to be its troubleshooter in Iraq in 2004

• How UN employees have used their diplomatic immunity to aid in terrorist activities

• Hizballah: how the UN has consistently defended this terrorist organization, despite the fact that it may be responsible for more acts of international terror than Al-Qaeda

• How the UN's startling record of failure has led Presidents Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton, and George W. Bush to bypass the UN Security Council

• Why, if we remain in the UN, we must work with our allies to alter fundamentally the voting patterns of UN General Assembly member states

• Why America can -- and must -- go outside the UN to address the most serious threats to national security

  "For anyone wondering what's wrong with the United Nations, this is the book to read. Providing both a concise history and an urgent warning for our own time, Dore Gold in clear and lively detail explains how and why the UN too often promotes not peace, but problems--and what we can do about it." -- Claudia Rosett, columnist, the Wall Street Journal's Opinionjournal.com

  "Dore Gold's book is informed and informative. It can be read with pleasure and profit by anyone with a genuine interest in the United Nations. I warmly recommend it." -- Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick, former Ambassador to the United Nations
