"have persuaded the President to treat the UN as a serious international body, rather than what it is -- a collection of mostly authoritarian and autocratic governments run by thugs with more in common with Saddam than with us."

Now, according to you, sir, THE ENTIRE WORLD ARE WORTHLESS AUTHORITARIANS. The UN represents membership from the entire world, and was made to help resolve conflicts PEACEFULLY! Is that unacceptable? The idea that the US alone is respectable and the rest of the world stinks causes us lots of resentments from people who rather think of themselves as equally humans.

No, not the entire world, pal...just the dictatorships, the commies, oh, and the French and Germans.

BTW, what did the UN do to stop 500,000 Rwandans from being slaughtered, hmmmm??? And also sir, why inthehell are Syria and China on the UN's human rights commission??? Ya ever looked at their record of human rights violations?

Damn straight, the US is more respectable than most of the rest of the world. You know how many U.S. soldiers died on D-Day to save the Frogs from German occupation? They are still buried at Normandy. Personaly, I think we ought to bring them all home to Arlington, where they would be given the proper respect that they deserve!!!

Oh, and another fact, pal.
The French planted trees along the road leading into Paris, so the Germans could stop and rest in the shade.
