United Nations a potential casualty |
2003-04-20 |
This is the clearest indication yet, I have seen, that the USA is determined to relegate the UN to its proper and natural function in world affairs, namely as an impotent talking shop. A few highlights!The United Nations, created ''to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,'' is a potential casualty of the latest war.BTW, if you are interested I have a satirical piece on the UN over at Samizdata titled United Nation legitimacy and credibility. |

#3 Welcome home, Phil! As for the United Nations, I don't think anyone's confused about my take. However, I have to agree - the United Nations is good for something. We have all these delegates meeting together, all whining about how terrible the United States is. What better place to keep track of who our friends are, and who our enemies are. We just need to stop paying so da$#$%$^#% much for the information. Cut our dues back to the same as other nations, including France, Germany, Russia, China, and Japan. Then cut that in half. Old medical motto: feed a cold, starve a fever. With all that hot air being generated, the UN HAS to have a fever. |

#2 UN = DEAD. Perfect. Apply the money and effort wasted there to getting shit done. Their talent, talking things to death and designing incredibly inefficient programs and dreaming up titled positions as an employment scheme for the utterly useless and terminally cultured, has always failed any rationality / ROI test we could care to apply. And welcome home! |
