W. BOXED THE U.N.

WILL the United Nations endorse a resolution authorizing a U.S.-led invasion of Iraq if it fails to honor the previous U.N. resolutions calling for the destruction of weapons of mass destruction? Can America get the votes?

Those are the wrong questions. The fact is, the United Nations has got to endorse U.S. action or lose its credibility.

It took about six months for Bush to render Arafat irrelevant. It looks like the timescale will be about the same for the UN. What left-wing institution should we turn him on next?

Well, when a nihilist instution plays dead, they automaticaly become irrelevant. It's a great tactic indeed, to combine the cold sword with warm hearted relevance.

LOL!!

When we went to the President's Inauguration, my husband kept shaking his head and saying, "How is he possibly going to handle all these immense problems?"

Hubby predicted in 1992 that the terrorists would target the WTC, when I was just sure they'd go for New York City and Washington, D.C. He is also worried, of course, about China and North Korea and some reactionary coming back into power in Russia and the degredation of our country's morals and ideals and will to survive by the constant onslaught and power of the media, and schools and universities controlled by leftists....among other problems on his radar screen.

Really, the U.N. is one of the least of our problems as a country.

With the Education Bill, and other PR efforts, like Pledge across America and T-ball on the White House lawn, W is trying to get a foot in the door of blunting the power of the NEA over the liberal indoctrination of America's children.

The left wing organization I would like him to tame the most, however, is TV news broadcasting (ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, PBS).

If only the UN could be eliminated. It is an organization that fosters anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-Western ideals and ideas. And, it does it with our money.

My suggestion is the Departments of HHS, HUD and Education.

<< American success in enforcing the U.N. resolutions on Iraq will doom the institution to permanent irrelevance. >>

But who will notice any change?

New York City Traffic Policemen, that's who .........

Let's see, he has returned Russia to Christendom's fold; put the fear of God and of Good into the Peking based gang psychopathological criminal bastards that calls itself "china;" has reduced the un, the plo, the ira, the uk and the various other members states of the EURO-peon Soviet to irrelevance; is about to restore Iraq to democracy, to see the house of Saud to the door and to restore our Arabian Penninsular Oilfield's to their rightful owners -- and has reduced the vast criminal enterprises that pose as what was once the "DemocRATic" potty to a pathetic laughing stock.

Nah. Enough already for this week.

Let him have the weekend off and paint the house at Crawford.

It's probably a hopeless wish, but I would like to see some American president recognize Taiwan as an independant nation.

But that's just me.

I would imagine the logical conclusion to the UN failing to act would be another resolution authorizing the use of force for Russia, France, Germany, and China to defend Iraq from the warmongering US (and probably Israel). Bet they could get a worldwide consensus on that one. (Go ahead, make my day!)
