I hope that the option of pulling out of the UN is more than just a threat. Of course, the President's speech made it very clear he wants to move away from having the global community dictate to the U.S.
In retrospect, the U.N. had plenty of advance warning that there were limits to how much longer the U.S. was going to accept U.N dictates when George W. Bush declined to go along with Kyoto.
