This vision of the U.N.'s founders was quickly put on hold; the Cold war intervened and split the Security Council into hostile factions. Now that has ended. Putting the U.N. back on track will be the work of all nations, but primarily that of the world's sole super power...
...subordination of America to the will of "the allies," or the U.N. Secretary-General, or the even vaguer notion of the "international community" provides a convenient alibi for failure. But it is also a near guarantee of failure and a source of endless, needless humbling of the planet's sole remaining superpower...
Despite this obvious success and Yardfest this past weekend, it is still quite frustrating to have to point to They Might Be Giants as the sole campus musical performance by a nationally known band.

Clinton may not hear much of this face to face; diplomatic politesse precludes that. But he might be surprised if he read intelligence reports based on eavesdropping on the private conversations of foreign leaders. One U.S. official who has done so calls the criticism...
