...the Repukes. Sure the UN has problems can be exasperating. Yeah I know the PNAC people want to build an American empire without pesky international laws. Yeah, the UN provides a forum for really despicable Nations to pontificate, but goddamn, it's a damn good idea and the UN really has made a positive difference in the world. If it didn't exist we'd have to create it. Push comes to shove, the US has always been able to co-opt or go around the UN when we needed to.

There's not a rational reason I can see for Bush to keep saying "fuck you" to everybody else in the world. Yes I know he's irrational but his political wunderkind handlers know better, don't they?

This is just more of Bush and the neocons acting like psychotic children and having to try and break every single thing they touch. They really do behave as if there will never be any consequences for their actions. That really, really scares me.
