More clear thinking from Richard Perle. You gotta love this guy.

"There is nothing in the UN charter now that authorizes collective preemption. That has to change if the UN is going to be effective and relevant. That would solve the problem of the United States having to act alone."

I don't love him, but then I don't know that much about the guy. The above quote really gives me pause. There is no way I want that UN collection of dictators and demagogues collectively intervening in anything.

Why does he find it necessary to kowtow to those who think the UN has a future? I suppose there is some point to his statements and perhaps you can enlighten me, but
if Perle thinks he can manipulate this collection of weasels for the common good then he is either deluded or he is the reincarnation of Machiavelli.
