Chavez, Castro, and the United Nations - Round 2

A few weeks back I posted on the fact that the Science and Education branch of the United Nations, UNESCO, gave Hugo Chavez an award for his work "towards the pursuit of liberty" in Latin America. Just today, Peter Brookes of The Heritage Foundation has released a column on this matter, further justifying why the United States should once again pull out and boycott this arm of the international institution, not to mention the fact that the UN would do well to remember that the USA is the largest contributor to UNESCO's budget.

I agree with him whole-heartedly, just as I did when I first learned of this incident. Either the UN learns that they need to clean up their act or the US wises up and leaves the UN hanging.
