re: But in a world where the U.N. is unwilling to put teeth into stopping nuclear proliferation, we have no choice but to stop it ourselves, by force if necessary.

The UN is the security council, the rest is for show. We are (were?) the leader of the free world, and have huge influence in the security council.

If you want to reform the world, we can't do it alone. It doesn't work. We can't even reform Iraq or Afghanistan, two of the most God forsaken backward places on earth.

The lesson learned in the last 10 years is that lateral-ism works and unilateralism doesn't work. Period. All our efforts should be on building a consensus in the UN security council and the rest of the world community. Then we can move forward as a huge economic force, and if absolutely necessary a military force.

Unfortunately we elected the neo's who have marginalized both the UN and NATO out of hubris at exactly the wrong time in history.
