SR,

How naive are you? Read this link to the New York times:

Meanwhile, the State Department said it would support a Congressional investigation of allegations of mismanagement and corruption in Unesco. American officials said the organization's director general, Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow of Senegal, was trying to delay the probe. Mr. M'Bow charged his critics with conducting a ''veritable smear campaign'' against him."

Note that corruption is an extreme form of financial mismanagement. Given the excessive waste at the UN, the US is not going to try and displace the UNESCO director for simple incompetence.

It seems that the Yanks' primary objection to UNESCO is that unlike America it doesn't dance to racist Israel's tune. Neither should anyone else.
