Great story.
Seriously, though, consider the present state of affairs at the United Nations:
The Disarmament Conference is being chaired up by Iraq.
The Human Rights Conference is being chaired by Libya.
The Security Council is presently chaired by a former terrorist.
It is simply amazing. The UN is not a "useless debating society" as Bush seems to fear. It is Bizarro-world.
Yes, what a circus. The whole idea that we could get 'the world,' i.e. the represents of 180-some mostly corrupt semi-socialist regimes to agree with our position on Iraq in retrospect seems wacko. Why should we care about what France and Germany think? - they should care about what we think.
By the way, the German for "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" is käseessende Kapitulationsaffen. We really have them puzzled with that one.
