America rather the gezegde

 America / rather, the United States / seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, over-friendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The chuckle among the nations of the world.
  Edna Ferber

 Simply put, what the United Nations wants is what the U.S. also wants: a reformed United Nations that is effective, efficient, leaner and relevant to the tasks that member states want to set for us, .. A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive. . The world has changed and we have to change, we have to adapt and I have given my commitment to the president that I will pursue reforms.
  Kofi Annan

 We see no way we can continue internally in the United States, so we're taking our argument across the water to the United Nations, and the United Nations is listening.

 The United Nations should issue the ultimatum, put down very clear dates ... and I believe that the United Nations should authorize member states to use force to implement those resolutions,

 When I think of the delicate balance of tremendous promise and urgent peril in today's world, I think particularly of the nations of Latin America, ... Because yours is a region that truly hangs in that delicate balance. It is in many ways a microcosm of the world in which we live, and it is therefore a place in which all that the United Nations stands for is put to test.
  Kofi Annan

 I definitely got more out of it than I expected. I got to go behind United Nations' closed doors and see the inner workings of the U.N. I learned that there are so many more opinions on a situation, and that the United Nations is not the United States' opinion, but 191 conflicting opinions.

 Today we know there were never weapons of mass destruction in Iraq but despite that, and going over the head of the United Nations, Iraq was bombed and occupied. So the United Nations must be pulled out of the United States,

 We're hoping that the Canadian government will raise this issue at the United Nations and the United Nations will inform Iran that the world community is watching.

 We should change our attitude toward the United Nations. There has to be some power in the world superior to our own. We should not have attacked Iraq without the okay of the United Nations. Now we have to live with that mistake. We're living with it, and too many of our guys are dying with it.
  Andy Rooney

 The United States presents a value system to the world that is based on democracy, based on economic freedom, based on individual rights for men and women, ... I think that is what makes us such a draw for nations around the world. People come to the United States to be educated, to become Americans. We are a country of countries and we touch every country, and every country in world touches us.
  Colin Powell

 I don't know about the specific memo. I've seen the reports, and I can tell you they are flat out wrong. The president of the United States in a very public way reached out to people across the world, went to the United Nations and tried to resolve this in a diplomatic manner.

 I think the days of anybody saying the United States would do anything unilateral are over. I think it's very clear to everybody what the United States is doing, it's doing with the support of many nations around the world.

 The problem with the United Nations is that while democracy within nations is the best available form of government, democracy among nations can be a moral disaster -- especially if some nations are not democracies.

 It is not up to Iraq to dictate the conditions to the United Nations, but for the United Nations to dictate the conditions to Iraq, ... If the United Nations does not act, then the United States, joined by other willing nations, must act.
  Colin Powell

 Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody's image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection. It is all the more unfitting that we should offer ourselves in images. And all the more fitting that the images which we make wittingly or unwittingly to sell America to the world should come back to haunt and curse us.
  Daniel J. Boorstin
