Steyn on Chavez and Ahmadinejad at the UN

Steyn cracks me up. I don't think he's necessarily right on a lot of things, though he is generally bent in the right direction. Here's the conclusion of his Sunday piece.
It may be news to the Council of Foreign Relations types and the Dems, but the U.N. demonstrated this last week that it is utterly incapable of reform. Indeed, any reforms would be more likely to upgrade and enhance the cliques of thugs and despots than of the few states willing to stand up to them. The most sensible proposal this week came from Chavez, who demanded the U.N. relocate to Venezuela. You go, girl! Dershowitz would be better off trying to get America expelled from the U.N., and encouraging it to join a new group of nations serious about defending freedom in the world: It would be a very small club. This week Jacques Chirac dropped the threat of sanctions against Iran. A few months ago, he briefly mused about nuking the Persians, but he's now folded like ... well, not like the Arabs and their tents: They're busily pitching them all over Europe with no plans to fold at all. Anyone who thinks the U.N. is the body to mediate Iran's nuclearization or anything else is more deluded than Ahmadinejad. At this rate, the Twelfth Imam will be the next secretary-general.
After the calls for removing the US from the security council and the veto right there is little doubt that the world overall wants the US out of the UN. Personally I agree with them, except I think we need to also take our money with us and make them move the UN facilities to Venezuala. I'm going to be that those two things would make the UN diplomats much happier to have the US as the Veto-wielding member of the UN and it's pathetic security council.
