    Paying its dues?

    Has the US paid its outstanding UN dues?

    That's an issue that got some attention for a time, and then just kind of disappeared (like term limits and the peace dividend -- just vanished; although I'm sure term limits will return to the GOP talking points if they get swept out in 2008).

    Still, it seems pretty crass of Bush/Cheney/Rove to expect the UN to do anything after what they've done to Iraq and the Middle East as a whole, more so if we're still a big scofflaw on the UN dues. The UN should ask for its dues before it even dipped a toe in the Persian Gulf.
