Either eject them or add some others.


Good Idea but can't be done, HH. They have got the seat and the Veto in the Charter. The UN is going to learn to get along with us better or become less and less important. They are a usable structure for dealing with a lot of small countries around the world that respect them and behave better than they would if the UN was not there.

There is a core group of people in this Admin, mainly in the so called "Neocon" camp, that have been writing ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union that Europe had too much influence on what we did. 911, plus this childish behavior by France and Germany, is letting them take over at State.

This group is also very pro-Israeli, and love the fact that Arafat has killed himself by lying to Bush, and that Sharon is in the driver's seat. They are winning against the "Arabists" at State, and now that Europe has marginalized themselves on ME policy by opposing us, their influence is going to be very strong. They are not interested in seeing that the Palestinians get a state.
