Scenes From a UN Love In |
2007-03-01 |
By Aaron Goldstein In order to fully understand how misguided some people are one must sometimes put one’s head inside the lion’s mouth. The lion might not have any teeth but the foul odor emanating from its breath is sufficient to want to cleanse oneself of the experience. I met such a foul odor a few days ago when I attended a panel discussion on the future of the United Nations at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. The theme of the discussion was “The UN in the Era of American Power”. A more truthful advertisement would have been “UN Love In: A Tribute to Kofi Annan.” The level of adoration and idolatry poured onto the former UN Secretary General would have made Kim Jong-Il blush. It could have also been advertised, “John Bolton is a Bad, Bad Man.” |
