One of the best things to come out of the UN, so glad we're back in.

"The U.N. cultural and scientific agency UNESCO has announced that the United States plans to rejoin — and pay more than $600 million in back dues — after a decade-long dispute sparked by the organization’s move to include Palestine as a member."

What a childish reason to leave in the first place. Free Palestine.

Ah yes. I faintly remember that ridiculous tantrum. Good on UNESCO for standing their ground.

That vote will be really interesting, to see how large China’s influence has already grown.
