Either Annan Goes or We Do
The Captain fires a broadside at the United Nations:
What has the UN done for America? They’ve ignored the terrorist threat by linking it to Israel’s status, creating a stalemate on the Security Council and an abject surrender on the Human Rights committees that abound at Turtle Bay (and are usually run by the worst abusers). They allowed Saddam Hussein twelve long years to ignore the cease-fire accords that kept him in Baghdad, and then once we finally bypassed the UNSC, we found out that member-nations like Russia, China, France, and Germany continued selling Saddam arms in violations of the sanctions they insisted would be enough to render him harmless. The oil-for-food program that we hoped would ease the sanctions’ bite on ordinary Iraqis instead was transformed by the UN into a vehicle to stuff billions of dollars into Saddam’s pockets, some of which went to fund terrorism in Palestine and almost certainly against the US.
