From NR blog on Kofi's speech today:

The other thing that struck me was the following passage, another signal of the advance of the United Nations as an emergent world government, based upon the starkly anti-democratic principle of one-state-one-vote in a legislative assembly with no standards for membership, an advance which can only come at the expense of state sovereignty:

ANNAN

"It was clear to me ten years ago, and is even clearer now, that international relations are not a matter of States alone. They are relations between peoples, in which so-called "non-state actors" play a vital role, and can make a vital contribution. All must play their part in a true multilateral world order, with a renewed, dynamic United Nations at its center. Yes, I remain convinced that the only answer to this divided world must be a truly United Nations".

And according to nutjob that will happen when the UN embraces....

It is essential that spirituality and ethics find their rightful place in international relations. Without ethics and spirituality, attained in light of the teachings of Divine prophets, justice, freedom and human rights cannot be guaranteed.

"We can't successfully influence the outcomes of Hamas or Hezbollah, let along Iran, so let's just accept them for who they are"
