Follow, get the hell out of the way, or get steamrolled. I don't have a preference.
...And the people of my country will remember those who have plotted against us. We are learning their names. We are coming to know their faces. There is no corner of the earth distant or dark enough to protect them. However long it takes, their hour of justice will come....
As I've told the American people, freedom and fear are at war. We face enemies that hate not our policies but our existence, the tolerance of openness and creative culture that defines us. But the outcome of this conflict is certain. There is a current in history, and it runs toward freedom.
Our enemies resent it and dismiss it, but the dreams of mankind are defined by liberty, the natural right to create and build and worship and live in dignity. When men and women are released from oppression and isolation, they find fulfillment and hope, and they leave poverty by the millions.
....We did not ask for this mission, yet there is honor in history's call. We have a chance the write the story or our times, a story of courage defeating cruelty and light overcoming darkness. This calling is worthy of any life and worthy of every nation.
Kofi--just get out of the way.

I have too much respect for the people that died there than to desecrate the site with the UN. Why not just piss on the Arizona while you're at it... ;-)
Everything the UN stands for wouldn't be much.
Kofi, sweetheart, have I got the perfect solution for you! There's nothing to it. Really. All you have to do is to do what come's naturally...
Step 1. Uh that would mean you and "the world" do what you do so well. You know, just sit just sit tight on your hands and do nothing. You can add a touch of hand-wringing and angst if you want; seeing as you got that part down pat.
Remember? Like you did in Rwanda? OK, then there's Step 2.
Step 2 is we, that's US, not part of YOU (as our Europeon friends are so fond of reminding us), well, WE go in and kick the snot out of the guys who'd blow us up. Now, we really don't have to do this on our own as an "ACT OF AGGRESSION" or anything, seeing as they co conveniently already promised to kill us all, and even gave us a little demonstration. So we'd call that a declaration of war on their part. Don't you think?
So, we fix it and "the world" acts as one.
SIMPLE! Nothing to it. We do it, We are one, We "act as one" and get it done. Just like you said! Got it?
Sit tight there Kofi, we got you covered...
Uh... Kofi? You know, seeing as you are looking for something to accomplish... You were planning to do something about your ol commie buddy Bob Mugabe down in Zimbabwe?
Weren't you?
And I'm not pleased at all that Bush feels the need to go to these leeches for "permission" to defend ourselves.
This went from a war to a UN "police action". I seriously doubt that we will ever have a president whose loyalty is not conflicted again. Apparently, American soveriegnty is a thing of the past.
These terrorists are state-sponsored. War was the right call. But when we have to go to the UN for permission to counterattack, the war is already lost.
It is long past time to stop all of the BS and get on with it.
Inasmuch as it has become blatantly apparent that the UN doesn't stand for anything, then the UN has nothing at risk, and nothing to lose should we act unilaterally... Kofi Inacan, you are irrelevant...

Apparently asking "permission" is the furthest thing from his mind. Extreme doubt obtains in most quarters that he will be asking anything from the UN, but instead will be telling them a thing or three...
