"I'm going to the United Nations to give this speech for a reason, because I believe this is an international problem, and that we must work together to deal with the problem," Bush said on Tuesday.

Translation: I'm not asking you how to deal with this problem, mind you...I'm telling you, and you better finally listen up...

...Kofi, if you want to keep that (U.N.) illusion going...you had better get on board and sanction the use of force.

Annan's speech was better than I expected, actually...sounded like he already knows the U.N. is an ineffectual organization but didn't want to lose face (I mean, what can the U.N. do without the U.S.? even Kofi's not that delusional, and if he is, George will straighten him out right quick!)...

(Rush is saying similar right now, I think) ;)

"Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding or will it be irrelevant?"

How about this quote from the President's speech???

[MD_Willington_1976]

I would love it if GWB would give koffi the bird and say "Sit and Spin you Commie" then procede to order the entire UN out of the USA, as koffi leaves the UN building, GWB & Rummi could say in unison "Dont let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out" proceeded by a having wrecking party at the old UN building.

Oh one can dream can't they....

screw you kofi . . . no money or soldiers for you. We are the U.N. If we leave, it will fall apart like the league of nations. We're leaving your third world puppet show.

They say violence only breeds more violence. I say, not if you do it right.

"The more a country makes use of multilateral institutions -- thereby respecting shared values, and accepting the obligations and restraints inherent in those values -- the more others will trust and respect it, and the stronger its chance to exercise true leadership," Annan says.

Translation:

For your defense, go through me.

For justice, go through me.

For redress, and for restraint of your enemies, go through me.

For independence, go through me.

----BZZZZZT! Contradiction in terms!

Ol' Kofi is just another power junkie. People who have ideas that the UN can be used to overcome the U.S. and turn us into their lapdogs are going to find the experience very similar to John Wayne Bobbitt's.

I would like to extend a warm THANK YOU to all of our allies!JUST CAN'T THINK OF ANY!

[WOSG]

Amen! Although I would amend that to include only nations with a constitution that ensured a limited republican form of government. That would exclude even the U.S. under our current form, whereby the majority of laws are usurped and then upheld by judicial fiat.

I think that would exclude every country on earth then! :-)

We cannot expect perfection, but at least a few ground rules, like: Respect freedom of speech, right to worship, have a system of laws, the right to own property, dont engage in torture or holding political prisoners, and have a representative Republican form of Govt (Was corected on that "Democratic" is a general term these days we use to mean Republics, as there are no nations that are direct Democracies. It's a Republic that works, not Democracy, but the latter term is "popular" with the Demos :-) )

Maybe 2 levels. The first level gets you in, make it easy enough that only the ral outlaw states get booted, like North Korea etc; the second level gives you voting rights. You need some real representative Govt. sorry, Mugabe, Saudis, Pakistan, Syria, Cuba, etc. etc.

Democracy is popular with (and necessary to) the demon-crats because they need majority rule to gain (and retain) power, most of which is obtained by robbing Peter to pay Paul. They would be shackled if they were forced to adhere to the constitution (as would most "republicans"). Under our constutional form of government, any power not specifically authorized to the federal government by the constitution is forbidden. To gain new power the federal government must submit an amendment to the states, and 3/4's of the state legislatures must authorize the new amendment. Any other acquisition of power by the federal government is illegal usurpation. The demon-crats know this well; but by stacking the courts with liberal judicial activists (who ignore the constitution in their rulings), the demon-crats are able to create unconstitutional law rather easily.
