George Will adds his thoughts to the growing number of those who think we should toss the UN:

TownHall.com: Conservative Columnists: George Will The U.N. is premodern because it is unaccountable and irresponsible: It claims power not legitimized by the recurring consent of periodically consulted constituencies of the governed. Inebriated by self-approval, the U.N. is grounded in neither democratic consent nor territorial responsibilities, nor independent fiscal means, nor the material means of enforcing its judgments.

...snip...

The U.N., a collection of regimes of less than uniform legitimacy, has anointed itself the sole arbiter of what are legitimate military actions. And it has claimed a duty to leash the only nation that has the power to enforce U.N. resolutions.

...snip...

The war will be followed by a presidential election in which all candidates must answer this: ``Do you believe that any use of U.S. military power lacks legitimacy unless approved by France, Russia and China?'' The Republican candidate has already answered.
