#1 Igniting debate is all fine and dandy, but what really matters is what kind of change (if any) will come about as a result?

As long as Goo-fi is still in charge, I'm not convinced anything substantial is going to happen.

#2 Kofi is just the tip of the iceberg, BAR. Too many like the situation as it is for any meaningful change to occur. The best thing to do is let the UN fade slowly into the sunset as real international progress is made through the (expanded) G8 or other group of democracies.

#3 "(expanded) G8 or other group of democracies"

Who does that include? Is it only the West plus Japan? Assuming the bad guys don't just fade away like the UN, will the US still be the only sheriff? Will the nature of the bad guys initiate a sudden western recovery from its half century bout with colonial/success-guilt-paralysis syndrome?
