Inside the Asylum

Inside the Asylum is a 2004 book by former U.S. undersecretary of defense Jed Babbin which accuses the United Nations (and what he calls "Old Europe") of anti-Americanism.

Babbin accuses the UN of having links to terrorist organizations and selling its moral legitimacy for oil and enriching itself at the expense of the Iraqi people, while undermining American pressure on Saddam Hussein

Babbin suggests that the US should leave the UN and focus on forming alliances with countries, which he considers, are really for freedom and democracy.

Babbin accuses Kofi Annan and his “wasteful bureaucracy of UN employees” of acting not in the name of the UN Charter to promote world peace and global security, and instead channeling dirty money, supporting terrorist causes, and using the Security Council to attempt to shackle sovereign US authority in its own international affairs, and thereby illegitimately expanding their own vastly overreaching political power.
