I do think they are guilty of shirking fights that should be fought, to clean up the UN or get out.

Shirking fights?? The President is still fighting the world because he didn't have UN approval to go into Iraq. Now the UN is in Iraq making DNC talking points about voter fraud.

As much as I would like to see President Bush withdraw us from the stinking UN and kick them out of the USA, it must be done in the same way one eats an elephant ... one bite at a time.

There has been an investigation going on of the Oil for Food scandal for well over a year, with more fingers pointing at the UN everyday. He went around the demonRATS and the crybaby, and recess appointed Bolton. Congress voted to cut our "contribution" to the UN by half. (did that stick?)

Like everything else, it takes time. President Bush can't "nuke" the UN, anymore than he can "nuke" SS or DOE or appoint any judge he wants.

Sensibility and long term vision has just become your claim to fame justanobody.

To me anyway!

Well if you're happy with our progress so far at UN reform, I'm glad to hear it.

Maybe I've been too harsh. Maybe the Bush administration is doing a good job of cleaning up the mess and making sure U.S. taxpayers are getting good value for the money we send to the UN.

Maybe we're on the right track, and we just need to keep doing what we're doing to have a nice, clean, helpful UN in the future.

I doubt it, personally. I think we're on the wrong track, and the Bush administration is doing little more than rearranging a few deck chairs.
