You can bet that UN employees won't be reading that book in the office cafeteria during lunch breaks...

[wideawake]

I don't think UN employees get to the office in time to eat lunch there.

Even the employees are jumping ship. Mr. Bolton is trying but this place needs to go to the scrap heap of history.

For a minute there I thought it was by the Joe Klein that writes for Time and appears on CNN. That would have been stunning, because that Joe Klein is not really worth listening to once you've figured out his world view.

And sure, enough, this is a different Joe Klein. The book may indeed be credible after all.

Klein is neither a conservative nor a liberal in a knee-jerk sense. "Primary Colors" was anti-clinton, but not a full-bore indictment. If nothing else, he knows how to sell books.

I agree that UN employees are not likely to read this book in the lunchroom. But what may seem hopeful to some of them is that the UN is not fundamentally corrupt, only taken over by a faction that might possibly be forced out.

Of course the huge majority of UN bureaucrats are simply products of a system that milks the US and uses the money to dole out gravy to the US's enemies. They are probably sympathetic to the program Kofi represents. And Kofi was by no means the first, just the worst.

Let's put the publisher's bio release from Amazon here:

About the Author
Joe Klein, a practicing attorney in New York City, received his J.D. degree with honors from Harvard Law School where he studied Constitutional law with the late Archibald Cox. A one-time believer in the UN's mission, Klein now writes in his new book of the dangerous path of global governance the world organization is taking and how it threatens America's Constitutional liberties.

They call him "Joe Klein" all through the publicity release. Maybe they are hoping to capitalize on a famous name to sell more books. But they noticeably don't mention Joe Klein's earlier books, which they would surely do if he were the same guy.
