The UN is history as of monday. They can do whatever they want, condemn us, get drunk, go to the beach, plan a fairwell party; who cares?

I can understand the need for the UN, not in is current overblown capacity, but as strictly a diplomatic liaison. The UN is trying hard to become the leaders of the one world government. Right now, the US is fighting that, along with Britian, Australia, Spain and a couple other nations, although no press is willing to state it. We see the destruction and the potential for a dictatorship ruler of the world, these others are in for the instant gratification. That is why we are seeing such a diplomatic breakdown. The EU wants world government, the democratic societies are fighting it.

I agree. The UN should have been history many years ago. It's controlled by a majority of totalitarian regimes and it can't be allowed to influence global affairs. The fact that Libya is now in charge of human rights speaks for itself. The decision to play the UN's game in this current crisis was a bad one. We should withdraw our financial backing of the UN and push for a new Organization of Democratic Nations.

Britain, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, the rest of the Coalition of the Willing.

Bush vetoed the International Criminal Court. But all the others are under its jurisdiction. So if the U.N. condemns the action, there is a legal basis to pursure the leaders of our allies as war criminals. Actually, they could pursue any military commanders or soldiers or members of their governments like defense ministers as well.

This is what all of us anti-globalists have ranted about for years. I think France may be considering to try to play that card and enable the Lilliputians to finally tie Gulliver down.

At this point, I'm actually more concerned about dismantling the U.N. than I am about deposing Saddam. The United Natons is the greater threat to America.
