#1 It wouldn't look cool if he (Annan) were seen floating around the Pacific while we are trying to tackle serious budget matters here in NYC...

Unless it's face down...

#6 The UN should be allowed to continue but I believe the US should pioneer a new alliance a Democratic Alliance that will garantee support of eachother either by military force, money or, other, everyone does their part. Mutual protection and participation. Agree to certian standards of human rights, free enterprice, and free gov, ect.... Benifits would be free trade so instead of our wealth being siphened off by a communist light china it would at least be empowering a fellow ally. Such a alliance would rather quickly be the most powerfull superpower in the world by far and membership was open to all if certian standards were met. The alliance could have a core group who are full compliance with standards then transition members who have less vote but are working their way to core group status with clear cut markers and progress dates. Set it up like the US gov a House & Senate that way all have a fair say. This would keep one or a small group of nations from stoping a process like Nato is suffering from. Also by voting in a block the alliance could have major sway within the UN. I can think of many who would sign up quickly some for protection some economic some both to name a few, Ukraine, Kuwait, Qutar, UAE, Poland, Lituania, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Japan, Australia, Britian, probably some stans and others.
