[Excerpt:]

"This latest UN farce illustrates a larger problem:  What was once referred to as the last, great hope of mankind is an enormous disappointment, most known for pervasive incompetence and corruption. Unfortunately, the UN’s performance never has met popular expectations.  Without the support of the U.S. and a handful of other Western nations, the UN can accomplish nothing.  Yet the organization spends much of its energy demonizing these very same countries. As UN ambassador, John Bolton fought valiantly, but futilely, to reform the UN.  If the UN is to play a positive role in coming years, it must be transformed.  A good starting point would be a U.S.-orchestrated boycott of the upcoming Durban II conference, which threatens to become a forum promoting global intolerance.  President-elect Obama has promised change.  He needs to apply the same principle to the United Nations."
