#1 De-fund the UN and kick them out of the US. Set up a council of democracies that acts like a republic with checks and balances and full accountability and transparency. Then talk about helping the rest of the world and defending freedom.

Until that time, corruption and 3rd world despots will continue to rule the halls of power.

#3 I can vote for McCain if he goes for anything that lowers support for the UN.

#4 grom, why stop there. I mean, a Digg like, Web 2.0 site, would be awesome. Wait, that would be better for the UN. There could be issues on Israel every day dug up to the top. It would be, like Web UN 2.0.

#5 A serious caucus within the UN would be more useful than another group. What we are really talking about is our failure to use the UN properly. If we are not going to use the body we should kill the body. Perhaps this is a step towards turning the UN into the League of Nations. If that's the end game I support it.
