Addresses to the United Nations tend not to be enormously revelatory. Plenty of jockeying, as opposed to unveilings of bold new positions. "These speeches are designed mainly for home consumption," says Thomas Weiss, a professor of political science at the CUNY Graduate Center who has studied the United Nations. Think of the chest-thumping from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who called President George W. Bush 'the devil' in 2006, for example.
