The United Nations is the gift that just keeps on giving. Their latest gift: cholera.
There are so many reasons why your tax dollars are desperately needed to support the important work of the United Nations that it's difficult to list them all, and it's really only fair that we pay at least 25% of the costs to keep this incredible organization staggering on. Look at all they've done for us: they've given the world Agenda 21, they consistently vote against our interests - hey, somebody has to keep the USA in line! - and their most recent gift comes courtesy of their peace-keeping mission in Haiti, where new scientific evidence suggests United Nations peacekeepers have carried a virulent strain of cholera -- a super bug -- into the Western Hemisphere for the first time.
Top epedimiologists from around the world now agree that the emergence of the deadly superbug in Haiti is directly linked to the deployment of United Nations Peace-keepers following the devastating earthquake two years ago. Although the U.N. has steadfastly denied any responsibility for the introduction, which has infected at least half a million Haitians and killed over 7,000 of them, evidence to the contrary is both abundant and undeniable.
"It's outrageous for the UN to try to deny responsibility for bringing cholera to Haiti," said Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, whose group has been monitoring relief efforts in Haiti. "Was it gross negligence on their part? This is one of the questions they won't have to answer if they can sweep this whole thing under the rug."
