They want to destroy the UN as it is today, and most especially the existence of a SC and veto capacity.

No. It was a French power play - and they are going to lose.

I hope so...But the whole MS thing has been bothering me for all this time since the event. Especially since when WJC's signing of the document was looked at more closely, it was learned that as a 'charter', the US is legally bound by the Chief Executive's signature alone , and the approval of congress is not needed (as would be the case for a treaty, like Kyoto or the ICC). That does concern me...Why would they go to all the trouble of creating the stupid thing and getting hundreds of signatures on it if there was no desire to put it into effect? The only way it could be put into effect is if there was no way to veto it, and we've been hearing so much the last week or so re: the obsolescence of the SC and veto that I cannot but wonder if there's not more going on than we can see at this time.

Hopefully, though, this will end with the UN (and the ICC) mortally wounded though perhaps lingering for a few years before fading away, and France disgraced by discoveries in Iraq's arsenal.
