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.
