The UN has been under criticism lately, I have to say, in debating with American friends, I have found a new perception of what I thought was a force for good in the world. .

Ask the people of Ruwanda or Sudan. I know Chirac and Shroeders personal bankers love the UN.

No oops —for over ten days now Kofi and his auxiliary manager have been traveling to and staying in in expensive hotels and conferences meeting after meeting with those in “charge” in these respective nations lobbying them, making promises and urging them to “unite” behind the UN. These people are the same ole, same ole. The coalition that the US made with the Aussies and Japan made them both angry and frightened. It was already on the ground doing something besides talking at the problem and heaven forbid it became publicly acknoledged that the UN will talk themselves to death before they do much and then there are all those offshore bank accounts to be conributed to…all that money bypassing them gave them nightmares.

IMHO, all you need to know about the UN is that they flew their flag at half-staff for the demise of Yassir Arafat, but not for the funeral of Ronald Reagan.

I was unaware of this. That now makes it 1001 things I don’t like about the UN.
