My talking out of my butt?

That aside, you also fail to realize that saying something does not equate doing something. Talk is cheap, and that's all we've seen. I've heard at least a dozen politicians say there is a clear need for an overhaul at the UN, usually followed by "but probably not until Kofi's time in office is finished." The reason that we take issue at "not meaning what they say" is that "taking responsibility" are pretty friggin' big words, they're not a simple statement of good will.

If the president of the most powerful nation in the world, or the General Secretary of the UN say they're taking responsibility for something, decisive action should follow. That's why they're the leaders.

Taking responsibility would, yes, be the honorable approach. But just saying the words is not.

Your post was indeed more direct, as in all you had to say was the equivalent of "waah waah stop crying", which doesn't make a real argument, just a petty pot shot. Pat yourself in the back if that's all you wanted to achieve, because you did.
