Neo-cons determined to derail UN reforms

Writing in the Guardian, Robin Cook delivers more of the old, UN good, neo-cons bad, schtick:

This brings us to the solid concrete roadblock in the path of the Annan reforms. The world is confronted with a choice between two competing models of global governance. The direction signposted by Kofi Annan is to a regenerated UN with new authority for its collective decisions. However, collective decision-making is only possible if there is broad equivalence among those taking part. And there is the rub. The neocons who run the US administration want supremacy, not equality, for America and hanker after an alternative model of global governance in which the world is put to right not by the tedious process of building international consensus, but by the straightforward exercise of US puissance.

Cook, the power mad bastard, wants a share of the global governance pie and deeply resents the US standing in his way.
