I agree with this article, but my question is this: What would happen if President Bush said that we are leaving the UN effective immediately? There are so many positives that would come out of it, and I guess the negatives would be politically for the Repubs. I wonder if that will ever be a possibility in our lifetimes?

Let's go another step in thinking. What if President Bush said, "We are pulling out of the UN effective immediately and will use that money to pay for recovery from Katrina, Ophelia, etc. The UN is welcome to leave by December 2005 and after that we will be charging rent, giving parking tickets and allowing no diplomatic immunity for UN members in the US."

It will isolate the US from the rest of the world, but moving Bolton into the UN gave them a signal we don't take it anymore and maybe the UN knows the country who is paying for them is fed up with the corruption and dictators running the show.
