And, without some drastic restructuring, it will never amount to more than a soapbox for countries, people, and ideas that would be ignored or ridiculed elsewhere.

I agree that on any given day there's a tremendous amount of nonsense emanating from the UN. The world needs a soapbox, though, because otherwise there's nowhere else to play. The nonsense bothers me too, but it doesn't lead me to support a guy whose articulated idea of constructive diplomacy is blowing out 10 floors of the building.

I agree, he should be confirmed as the embodiment of Bush's attitudes toward the UN. The Dems should get out the way here, and focus on buying popcorn and sodas to watch the first assault trial arising from Bolton's execution of the Bush Deux Redux style of nicer diplomacy by sticking the Italian Diplomat's head in a toilet bowl on the 48th floor.
