Here's an example as to why the UN is a joke

Quote:Both Castro and Chavez are enormously popular around the world, not only as champions (supposed or otherwise) of the "little guy," but as the leading celebrities in the opposition to American power.

They gain at home, they gain abroad, they gain everywhere from making Bush look as bad as possible, and making themselves out as his opponents.

Anyone wondering why they would be making these offensive statements need only look to the fact that Dubya is the most loathed American president abroad of all time.

WIthout the US and its position as a foil, both of these clowns shrink in stature considerably. Consider what that says about their actual, substantive talents and leadership capacity. Given Chavez' pulling an FDR like stunt and succeeding (FDR tried to increase the number of Justices on our Supreme, and have his favorites appointed. He failed in the attempt) you can argue that he has created by fiat a one party government. I look south of my border, at what a single party did for Mexican politics, and shake my head.

Don't these people ever learn? Or, maybe they do learn, and simply don't care.
