I despise the UN because of the corruption, not because I'm one of those ultra-patriots or anything. Clear the corruption and I'd support it, AKA punish severely those involved, and kick them out.
I don't need to cool it down.

A TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION of the truth around the comment is already being used by neo-cons and isolationists to bash the UN.

One guy made one comment (which I tend to agree with, by the way) when asked about international aid in general.

All of a sudden you have Bush and Co jumping up and down, and the right-wing US media wailing about how the UN is criticising America again.

Sheesh...
