Once again, Steyn pierces the jugular.

It's noteworthy that, whereas most American liberals ask to be judged on their intentions and excused for their failures, Postmodern Transnationalists, the sole remaining human subspecies that considers the UN a really neat idea:

  1. demand to be judged on their allegiance to a gaggle of despots, without reference to what those despots actually do to their subjects;
  2. refuse to consider previous successes and failures as relevant to a policy decision, and consider it rude to raise the subject;
  3. condemn anyone who dares to assert that there might be some source of moral authority more reliable and less transient than the opinion of the "world community," in whose name they claim the monopoly privilege to speak.

UN Delenda Est.

The Spectator is not motivated by anti-American animus, of course, and, unlike certain anti-war contributors to these pages, it was not on Saddam’s payroll.

Who's he talking about???

Your description of the UN ranks right up there with Steyn's analysis!
