First off, the votes of little countries don't matter, only the permanent 5 when it comes to the Security Council.
Second, for way too long these 'little countries' have been voting against us every chance they get, while gladly accepting our money to prop up their failed socialist experiments.
Personally, I don't care what the UN does or feels. I hope we do leave, kick them out of New York. Pay them back dues ?!?!?!?! I want to extract from them every dime they every got from us.
If Charley Reese wants to protect his conservative credentials, he should explain why he suddenly in favor of subordinating our sovereignty to a collection of third world dictatorships.
As for the Iraqi inspections, the very caveats that Reese mentions are a problem. 24 hour notice for his palaces (the size of counties) is unaceptable. ...and why should we believe Hussein this time? Everytime he promises to give the inspectors unfettered access, they get there only to find out they are not allowed access to where they really need to go.
Reese has also completely side-stepped the probability that Iraq does have WMD. He is asking us to give Hussein, who for many years actively obstructed inspections and compliance verification, the same credibility or more than we give the President. He ignores the pile of, admittedly circumstancial, evidence that indicates Iraq is working feverishly to build a nuclear bomb and further his other WMD.
Should we wait on Hussein's word, as Reese suggests, until we see a mushroom cloud in the saudi oil fields? This is not some schoolyard game where we can redo the play indefinitely because of a some cry-baby faking an injury. We have run out of cheeks to turn; he is on his 14th strike; we have bent over until we are about to kiss our own butt; this is it...no more stalling, we're going in.
