I'm reading all this late too, but here's what got me.... the quote

"I've done a lot of work with international law and with the U.N.," he said, "and we're always interested in figuring out ways to make the U.N. more important."

"More important?" How about more functional? How about more reasonable? How about still recognizing the sovereinty of each country? How about "no vetos" before a resolution is submitted? Geeshhhhhhh

[concerned about politics]

"Below you will find an excellent and urgently needed proposal for stopping the war before it starts from the Center for Constitutional Rights. …"

Constitutional rights give the UN the right to oppress us? What does the UN have to do with Americas Constitutional rights? Under the Constitution, we're a free Republic, not a part of the socialist collective.
The socialist left is TERRIFIED the world will learn to accept freedom, rather than total government rule. They're literally terrified Iraq would be a huge success.
