Long before the UN's mammoth Oil for Food scandal, conservatives
were both offended by and suspicious of this supranational
organization, which seems to oppose and criticize the United States
at every opportunity. For most of the press, the UN is a
beleaguered force for good in the world, one that deserves even
more support from the United States (which already pays for 22
percent of its operating budget). Eric Shawn, a senior
correspondent and anchor for Fox News Channel, has aggressively
reported on the many transgressions of UN officials for nearly two
years.
In The UN Exposed, Shawn uses the Oil for Food scandal as
a starting point to expose the organization's inefficiency,
corruption, and extreme anti-American agenda. Many Americans are
already disturbed by the UN's hypocrisy. He peers behind the closed
doors and posits what America should do to make it work better.
