It would be great if the UN does not act, or do anything.
It would mean that the Security Council and the UN is irrelevant.
It would mean that the United States should withdraw from the UN and its irrelevancy.

...the Saudi imams don't really mean it when they pray to Allah to "destroy the Jews and their supporters, destroy the Christians and their supporters and followers, shake the ground under them, instill fear in their hearts and freeze the blood in their veins." (You can get all the words by tuning in to Friday prayers on almost any Arab television or radio station.)

I wonder how much it would cost to pick one particular Arab radio station, translate it from Arabic to English, and broadcast the Arabic (muted) and English in the United States.

Bush is casting a light on everything standing in his way. It is fascinating to watch, eh? My impression is that Bush's moral compass is intact -- he has integrity and he uses it. But he is after all, a Harvard MBA. He sets policy, he plans, he oversees projects and he implements. And he does so with a deep understanding of the American psyche.

It's a unique combination of talents. Bush systematically uses every advantage he has to hand, and he probably has ruthless performance demands on his staff. Did he plan a war? No. Does he understand politics? Yes. But Iraq would be on the agenda whether there was an election or not.

A light is being cast, but I don't think it's Bush. I was convinced from Sept. 16 of last year that he is an anointed man put in a particular place in history, like Lincoln, and that as such, he automatically empowers all those around him.

Amen, Amen, Amen on everything you said. Right on!
