A news report I'd like to see.Obama pledges to pay dues to United NationsPresident Obama pledges to pay its dues (plus late fees) to the United Nations. “Since early 2007, the United States has fallen into arrears of $51 million in dues to the U.N.” Says Obama, we can’t afford the remote possibility that our present economic situation has something to do with the consequences of us breaking our financial agreement with the United Nations and others (see
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-04-09-dues_N.htm).
As "good" as our reasons have been for not paying our dues it sets a bad example for us to not honor agreements, especially when there are legal alternatives.
