What the world (body) needs now

The early returns are in: A number of retired U.S. diplomats, George Soros and the renamed World Federalist Association (now doing business as Citizens for Global Solutions) think what is needed now is less an American ambassador to the United Nations than an advocate for the U.N.'s dismal status quo assigned as a representative to the Bush administration.

Fortunately, President Bush believes very differently. He understands that the United Nations needs -- now more than ever -- the United States to have as its ambassador there someone who is not only a seasoned and highly skilled diplomat, deeply knowledgeable about the institution and the preeminent organizational and substantive challenges it faces. The times also require an individual who will represent with energy, intellectual prowess, articulateness and, yes, when necessary, assertiveness, the interests of the United States at U.N. headquarters.

Specifically, as Mr. Bush has made clear repeatedly -- and most pointedly in his past three annual appearances before the U.N. General Assembly -- the United States wants to realize the promise of the founding principles of the so-called "world body."

Mr. Bush ... wants to realize the promise of the founding principles of the so-called "world body."

Have a look at some of the founders of the UN:


Alger Hiss: Convicted communist spy


Vyacheslav Molotov: of the Soviet-Nazi Molotov-Ribbentrop Nonagression pact fame


David Rockefeller
