LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT … At the same time that the UN is telling the US that it needs to be more multilateral, at the same time that the UN is begging the US for a $1.3 billion interest free loan to renovate the buildings on formerly US sovereign territory — buildings which, by the way, sit on obscenely expensive land that was given to the UN by an American philanthropist — UN weapons inspectors are telling the US that it will only get to see a bowdlerized version of the statement Iraq released yesterday. Is that about right? Explain to me again why this whole UN thing was a good idea …

Indeed.
