Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez tore into his U.S. counterpart and his U.N. hosts Wednesday, likening President Bush to the devil and telling the General Assembly that its system is “worthless”: “We have no power, no power to make any impact on the terrible situation in the world,” he said.

He might have been over the top regarding Bush being the devil (he ain’t), but he was spot on regarding the General Assembly. The UN must be given REAL POWER.
