More on the UN from Robert Tracinski:
The real basis of the United Nations is global collectivism—the belief that America's judgment and interests must be subordinated to the collective opinion of the "world community." When the Times' Friedman, for example, calls the attack on Iraq a "war of choice" that should not be waged without a vast international consensus, what he means is that the choice of how America defends itself ought to be made by France, Russia, Cameroon, Chile—by anyone and everyone except the United States.
And going on:
Any time free nations agree to subordinate themselves to a collective consensus with hostile dictatorships, it is only the free nations that lose—and it is only the dictatorships that gain.
Yeah, that about sums it up. Didn't Saddam himself say that the longer the debate at the UN goes on, the more things work in his favor?
