(1) ignore it.
(2) opt out of it
(3) take control of it.
You forgot: "Cut off the money." If we do it and Japan does it also, that is 45% of the UN budget. Seeing as the UN failed to verify North Korea's use of their nuclear reactor on two occasions, Japan's following our lead is quite likely. As it is, Bush is increasing their funding and bringing us back into UNESCO after Reagan got us out. What, pray tell, did Bush get in return for caving on that one? 1441? What did that get us? So you see, it isn't the picture you thought it was, is it?
That the Bush administration has elected to do (3) suggests that the danger is not all that great.
Republican administrations have a record for taking care of their campaign donors (see tax-exempt foundations of the owners of multinational corporations). Republican administrations have done more to empower the UN over American citizens than you realize. They gave us the Endangered Species Act, NEPA, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act... all pursuant to treaties held at the UN. I don't suppose you knew that.
Hence my book proposing a free-market environmental management system, because government is too corrupt and too inept to be given a job that important. It's time to take the power to control land use away from government, because such power is sufficient to socialize the entire economy and power in the hands of politicians is power for sale (See Organized Crime: Racketeering, Malfeasance, Tax-Evasion, and Fraud).
Otherwise we really would have walked away from the Security Council back in September.
Way too glib, and too trusting. You over-estimate the courage of Carl Rove. I suggest you do the homework.
