Oh no we must protect the chaste wonderful pure and innocent UN  from the bad bad man and his bad bab opinions...

Watching that awful video makes me want to go run to NYC and hug Koffe Anan out of pure sympathy and concern to comfort him from this evil..

Go play with your gerbils JB88... :)

Sounds like the perfect man to deal with the UN for the United States.

The u.n is a sad joke.

It sounded like he is a very pragmatic individual and calls it like he sees it. What is the problem here? Every nation works through the UN when it is in that nations interest. The UN is not a government, it is not a sovreign state, it is (was) a place for sovreign states to discuss and hopefully work out problems. No sovreign state is going to willingly surrender their self interest just because the UN has a differing opinion.

One other point, is that if he is selected for the position it will be his job to represent the United Statesd interest to the UN, not represent the UN's interest to the United States.

That's the best point made in this thread.  Far too many people forget that when they get wrapped up in politics.

The UN is a worthless body that serves no other purpose than  for nations like the Sudan and North Korea to be appointed human rights advocates, or as a sound board for 3rd world sh*tholes to voice their discontent at not working harder to improve their own world.

I hope Bolton destroys this worthless body and that people finally stop kidding around and realise he is right.  Each nations best interests are priority #1 for that nation, and to say anything else is caca del toro.

Like an old worn out tool, it's time for the UN to be replaced.

The League of Nations was a great concept and a large step forward at the time. However, it proved unequal to the task, self-destructed and served as the guide for the follow-on idea after WW2.

The UN was the follow-on idea in the aftermath of WW2. It was a great concept and a large step forward at the time. It has clearly proven unequal to the task and it's time to replace it with something better. It's shortcomings are obvious. Next time around we should address those.

The next one will have it's faults too but evolution is the only hope.

It's time for the UN to exit the stage and let evolution bring the next great idea forward.

Oh... yeah... the next one's HQ should be either in Paris or Helsinki.
