D'Souza gives an excellent rebuttal to Soros', and most liberal, arguments against the war in Iraq. But it is the point about the makeup of the UN that got me to comment.

He says that the UN is a collection of despots and tyrants. My question is, why are we there? It's obvious that our government wants a world body to give us legitimacy when we need it, but getting it from the criminals on the East River is a waste of time.



We should kick the UN out of the US and announce a new world organization... one made up of democracies. Any and all democracies are welcome to membership. Set this organization up in the old UN building. Any nation that is not a democracy can join once they change. I think it would be encouraging to democracy. Think of the prestige of dealing with these nations, and the power of the economies that can be generated.



We should remain a part of the UN, if for no other reason than we need to be engaging the tyrants and despots and working to bring them into the democratic fold... by any means possible.
