Glad Kofi waited until after we grieved today......to make us laugh uproariously.

Mighty neighborly of him!

It seems to me that the UN should be a non binding body only for discussion ONLY. The people who make friends there can act together, but a world-wide approval is BS. It is good for people to talk, especially across cultures.

They should change their focus to sharing recipes. All they do is blame us for everything and then turn for help when in trouble. They're worse than teenagers.

Hmmm. Question for Kofi. If it is true, as you claim, that only the UN can sanction force- does this mean that the UN sanctioned the attacks on my country on September 11, 2001?

The UN was irrelevent to the terrorists. The UN is irrelevent to us. The UN is irrelevent.

To hear the input of the UN on this matter is about as pointless as a sperm bank seeking a donation from a castrated pervert.

Id guess Clinton had vision of being UN leader after his White House stint. He might still have such dreams.

Hillary as president of the U.S. and him heading up the U.N.? Hmmmm...

What self agrandisment of a paper sh!t bureaucracy that has no personal responsibility nor genuine representativeness of people worldwide. The US has more interest in preserving Afghani lives than the UN, LET US FACE IT.

Very well, thus UN shall lose U.S. financial support. I believe this is a fair trade.

"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.

Sounds like Bush is going to present his case to the world body for it's approval.Once, just once, it would be good to have a President with enough stones to tell the UN to piss off. I guess that we must now always have international (UN) approval to do what needs doing, have a multinational coalition to do it, and follow with UN peacekeeping and civilian disarmament when done.

Demand as a CONDITION OF STAYING IN THE UN THAT ONLY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES GET A VOTE.

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.

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

Sincerely, George.

I would rather only countries with limited government representational republics get votes. Democracy is very overrated, and is the friend of the populist-minded leftist demagogue.

The founding fathers rightly loathed democracy.

It's become taboo to speak ill of "democracy" but that is a taboo which conservatives need to destroy.

>>You are not an American. Your UN is not part of America's government. You and the UN are nothing to America. Your words are only an amusement to Americans<<

I am no longer amused.

This should be interesting...
Specially when the obvious question emerges:

Or what?

It is remarkable that of all the world's conflicts, there has not been a single one where the United Nations attempted to stop senseless killing and massacres in Africa and Asia where it was obvious that the parties had no inclination to even acknowledge that there is a U.N.

So. The deal is what? posturing against "friends" is the safe thing to do?
Posturing against the main contributor?
The host country?

Can you say "delusional"?
Megalomaniac?

The U.S. doesn't need U.N. permission to defend itself, not now, not ever.

>>The United States continues to accrue new debts to the world body and is now $1.2 billion in arrears for dues and peacekeeping expenses<<

Absurd.

For us to be in arrears, the UN would have to have the power to tax us-which they don't.

He says member states had shown they were willing to take actions under the authority of the U.N. Security Council they would not be willing to take without it.

Like what?

The endless parade of phony resolutions introduced by Muslim Mass Murderers against Israel?
The shameless posturing of international leeches just sucking on the the U.S. financial teat?

Let's move the U.N. to Africa or the Middle East, and test its real value.

Obviously, this isn't the U.N of the 1940s. or the 1950s.

I know the real U.N., and this ain't it.
