We Don't Need an Ambassador at the UN ...   [Andy McCarthy]

We need a wrecking ball.

If John Bolton could not be confirmed after the job he did, there is no hope for a strong American presence there.  More importantly, even with Bolton performing heroically, the UN was still a menace.

Why are we so hot to preserve this international racketeering enterprise?  What's in it for us? 

Please, someone explain the upside that outweighs the downside such that we should be agonizing over a quality replacement rather than using that energy to marginalize the UN, consider a replacement organization, or — better — rely on other international alliances and ad hoc coalitions to address international problems.
