Come on, GW, it's time to pull the plug on the UN.

Yup. It's overdue.

Party's over!

I think that would be disasterous at least as far as the framing of this war goes. If we pull the plug on the UN our Arab so-called friends will have no cover. The war will be framed as a unilateral war of agression, rather than an enforcement of the collective will of the peoples of the world.

Of course, we can still win the war, if it is framed that way. The deeper worry is whether we can win the peace if the war is framed that way.

I suppose one could just say to the world. "This train is leaving the station. You either get on board or be a bystander." We can then hope that the enough others won't want to be bystanders for some reason or other.

It would be one thing if we had never gone to the UN. It's quite another given that we bowed to the relevance of the UN to give the finger to the UN now.
