Neither do I, and I don't see him saying that in these sparse words that are quoted here.
What he's said is in no way definitive and is largely positive.
The U.N. should never have become more than a dispute resolution facilitator.
Agreed. The main superpowers who appear happy with the current state of things in the UN are Russia and China. PM Brown is speaking of forging closer ties with the USA, France and Germany. Russia and China weren't mentioned.
I suppose our only disagreement, if you can call it that, is that I'm seeing the glass as being half full but this doesn't mean that I'm going to be happy if he declares "more of the same" for the UN. I'll (metaphorically) toss the glass right at him if he does that.
I'm merely suggesting that this Sky News interview can be interpreted optimistically, but I'll wait for more details before doing a full-fledged Stoat Happy Dance. We've all been disappointed many times before in regards to the UN, after all.
I completely agree with your comments. My (-10) was a rather hypothetical what if. We’re in full agreement and sorry I may have implied otherwise.
It is certainly refreshing to see Sarkozy and Brown take this route. It certainly puts to rest the left’s claim that we are isolated, and that is significant in and of itself.
Canada even honored their troops in Afghanistan a day or two ago. Wow, it’s rather refreshing to know there are others out there who either get it or are showing signs of getting it.
Thanks for the follow-up.
