Happy United Nations Day
Today is United Nations Day, or the anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter in 1945.
It’s hard to remember now, in the ethos of the so-called post 9/11 world, but the U.N. did have significance once upon a time. And perhaps, in a post-Bush world, it will have signifcance again.

WTF? We Can’t Leave Iraq by 2013?!?
If this weren’t so depressing, it would be comical.
In last night’s Democratic Presidential candidate debate, Tim (Timmeh!) Russert asked the three front-running Democratic candidates if they would make a firm commitment to pull out all U.S. force from Iraq by 2013.
Not one of them — not Clinton, not Obama, not Edwards — took the pledge to do so.
We should all be asking — why the hell not?
