I'd have to disagree with you, my Swedish friend.

The UN is useless. It should be called the Useless Nations.

As an American, it is clear to me that unless the US is involved, nothing gets done. And Clinton and Albright are just as complicit as Annan in the 1994 Rwandan massacres.
Yet the world just loves Billy Boy and Kofi Annan--they are such wonderful folks, don't you think?

But George Bush makes the UN take a stand against a dictator, and all hell breaks lose against him and against the United States.

You have to understand that from our point of view, after having our taxes bankroll, and our sons and daughters being sent away to ensure, the safety and security of the rest of the world for the last 60 years, we are damn tired of the rest of the world acting in judgment when they don't do a damn thing to help(present helpers in Iraq excluded).

For Kofi Annan to speak out like this is the height of hypocrisy. This man has the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands, plus he was complicit in the UN oil program with Iraq which enriched various UN officials and the UN.

From this American, we have had it with the rest of the world and their ingratitude. We are going to defend our families and our nation against Islamic terrorism, and we don't care if anyone is offended.

And if any country on the face of the earth and in all human history has done more to free oppressed people and not take the spoils of war and conquest, please point it out to me.

We have been the spirit, the financing, and the military and humanitarian arm of the UN since its founding. No one else steps up to the plate other than us. And frankly, we're tired of this thankless job.

The rest of the world can play nice together on their own dime. Then we'll see how far they get. We've already seen how fast they came to the aid of the Iraqi people. The whole rest of the world can't even come up with a third of what we Americans are committing to this nation.

As for me, the sooner we are out of the Useless Nations and they are out of my country, the better.

Disagree - more in agreement?! See my comment under the article. The UN in its current form does not work, but there is no better alternative.

And Clinton and Albright are just as complicit as Annan in the 1994 Rwandan massacres.

And don't forget that pig Mitterand.
