#1 More blathering from one of my favorite anti-American morons trying to save his Tranzi dream.
The only changes that would be worth considering are a promise to stay out of US sovereign affairs and foreign policy.
Of course a reduction of the percentage of the UN budget the US pays from around 1/4 to 1/191 as is fair in my view, and move it to Brussels of course. Anything less than that is window dressing.

The UN ultimately needs to be dissovled, period. Many RBer's have given much more eloquent arguements than I could hope to put together for the reasons why - but they should be apparent to even the most mildy alert Americans that the UN is nothing but no good.
My sense that the UN is capable of acting correctly was never established so I don't need to worry about it being restored. I would like to see them fall on their sword though with a wave of arrests and lengthy jail terms for those involved in the oil for food embbezzlement, and I'm talking EVERYONE.
But we all know Kofi will never man up.

#2 "...establish a new human rights council and commit to ambitious goals on development..."
Translation: more bureaucracy and his hand deeper in your pocket.

#5 If the first reform was mass seppuku for all UN Management, I'd be rather enthusiastic about reading the rest.

#6 I don't see what the big deal is. I've never been to the UN, but are the floors that dirty? Do they really need to reform their sweeping that badly?

Certainly, there will be no attempt to fix the core problems of the UN. For a start, the UN delegate must be elected in an honest, unrestricted, multi-party, election, or appointed by a government that was elected thusly. No more appointees of Castro or the Mad Mullahs. There are many other serious structural problems, but there's really no point in doing anything else unless that is fixed. "Accountability" means nothing when you are "accountable" to thieves and murderers.
