Life must be very good in Canada, or at least dull, judging by the domestic reaction to its failed bid last week for a temporary seat on the U.N. Security Council. Listen to the yowls in the papers north of the border: "A nation reeling," "humiliating defeat," "a rebuke from the global community," "tarnishes our reputation," "a slap in the face.""Bravo, Canada," October 20, 2010
We say: Way to go. Canada seems to have annoyed a sufficient number of Third World dictators and liberally pious Westerners to come up short in a secret General Assembly ballot. The sins committed by Stephen Harper's Conservative government include staunch support for Israel, skepticism about cap-and-trade global warming schemes, and long-standing commitment to the Afghan war. Americans would be so lucky to get a leader as steadfast on those issues as the Canadian Prime Minister.

As a Canadian, I was delighted.
I wished we'd get worked up in a complete snit and walk out of the the UN forever.
I just love that: "a nation reeling and humiliating defeat" stuff. An organization which can easily be termed the Greatest Mistake Ever Made By The World which is itself a humiliating forum of fools or a place only an Obam-ayers could love is portrayed by the lefty press as a prestigious organization. If the Brits and our new congress are sincere about cutting wasteful spending--get us out of the UN and the UN out of the U.S.
