Well, it does give these small countries a place to come and blather. Interesting comment, in light of the following clip from a recent NYT article... Lawmakers have been stewing for weeks over the administration's failure to consult in depth with Congress about the costs, methods and goals of rebuilding Iraq, and some of those frustrations boiled over at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The UN is just a place for little countries to come and blather; Congress is just a place for little people and their irrelevant elected representatives to come and blather. Meanwhile, the real decisions will be made by the ones who have decided that they know best. The way we lead the world and the way our leaders lead us will come to resemble each other. Either leadership derives from the consent of those led, or it does not. Our leaders start to look as though they feel that their conviction in their own rectitude is more important than anybody's consent. If we let them apply this notion to the rest of the world, they'll be applying it to us soon enough.
