Oceans 13

Oceans 13:

Fareed Zakaria loves serious people.

At the National Review's Web site, a debate -- an entirely serious debate among serious people -- broke out as to whether the speech proved that Obama actually wanted the world's tyrants to win, in the tradition of past intellectuals who admired Mussolini and Hitler.

There is a serious case to be made that it's not worth taking the United Nations seriously, that it's an anachronistic institution based on 60-year-old geopolitics and a platform for tyrants and weirdos.

Reminds me of the opening threat in the move Oceans 13.

Only this time it's not a casino. It's the wealth of the United States.
