If anyone wants to know just how much the world has changed, do a google search , or search articles here on FR, with 'millennium summit' as the query. Look at the loathsome charter WJC and most of the rest of the 'world leaders' signed. This was September of 2000.
... and the downside of that would be ... ?
Unfortunately, the JBS and your fellow "tin foilers" are not exactly enjoying the developing anti-UN position of President Bush and the people they call "neoconservatives." The Birch Magazine The New American routinely condemns the Iraq war as an attempt to enforce UN resolutions and winds up sounding more like Koffi Anan than you might believe. And other "palaeo" sites are even more hostile (since they perceive that the war could conceivably benefit Israel). Yet even as they mimic the words of the Koffi Anans and Desmund Tutus of the world and condemn President Bush they still ritually scream "Get US out!"
If we actually do leave that organization (please G-d, and let's kick it out of the USA as well) I predict the "tinfoilers" will b*tch as loudly as ever about Bush's "belligerence." These people are so sick with hatred they can't make sense any more.
