    I hear that the Dixie Chicks are now being boycotted on country radio
    stations because Natalie Maines made anti-Bush comments at a London
    concert recently (Specifically, "We're embarrassed that the President
    is from Texas"). Many fans have torched their DC cds.

    Gallup polls now show that 57% of Americans think the UN is useless and
    we should invade Iraq anyways. 78% think that the UN's credibility is
    seriously damaged.

    The rest of the world seriously underestimates how significantly
    Americans think that the UN has no business telling us what we can and
    can't do. We, after all, created it, and we, after all, are responsible
    for the fact that so many of the rest of you are even living in
    democracies. The rest of you are plainly selfish, stupid, and just
    wrong to say that we shouldn't spread democracy to Iraq. It isn't your
    call.

    Saw on the news the other day, a New York City viewer emailed the
    anchor asking when bidding will be open for office space in the
    soon-to-be-vacated UN Tower...

    Also saw in the news that a cable from the German UN Ambassador to his
    government last November stated that Germany could reap great advantage
    from opposing us for the sake of opposing us, that we could be 'made to
    grovel begging for help from Germany when the US needs help with
    reconstruction in Iraq'....
