Personally, I think the UN is beyond hope, and the US, Israel, and a few others (the UK, Australia for example), should depart from the UN and the US should kick the UN off American soil and tell it to go meet in Paris, Pyongyang, Teharan, Khartoum, Tripoli, or similar garden spots. Whatever the purpose, ideals, and usefulness of the UN was in 1945, it has long since strayed from them.

There's a new movie coming out, "Hotel Rwanda" with Nick Nolte and Don Cheadle. I heard part of an interview with Cheadle. He was critical about "The West" and how it ignores the problems in Africa. But aside from his generalization about "The West" he was specific in his criticism of the UN.

He pointed out that Africa is currently having serious problems in Darfur, Uganda and other places -- but the UN is debating whether "genocide" is taking place. Depending on how the discussion about term definitions go, the UN may decide to discuss taking some sort of action.

What a pathetic organization.

Shouldn't President Bush be asking if it isn't time to dump the United Nations and to start anew?

Not with the same people.
