IHO, There are many, many honest Frenchmen out there, but the elite of the country is hopelessly compromised and corrupt.

A new poll shows Americans' view of the United Nations in the last year has taken a significant nosedive.

Just 38 percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of the U.N., while 44 percent have an unfavorable view, according to a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports.

Feelings about the U.N. are considerably more negative from a year ago. Leading up to the Iraq war, 48 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of the body, with just 31 percent holding an unfavorable view.

Those describing themselves as liberal voters had the highest opinion of the U.N., with 60 percent giving the agency thumbs-up. Just 20 percent of conservatives had a positive view, while nearly two-thirds, 62 percent, frowned on the global body.

Two-thirds of those who say they'll vote for President Bush in November have a negative impression of the U.N., whereas 59 percent of Kerry supporters view it positively.

The telephone survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports April 25-26. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is plus-or-minus 3 percentage points, with a 95 percent level of confidence.

Believe me if this guy held a high post at the UN then he was part of the French elite.

I saw Koffe talking about the investigation and almost felt sorry for him. I've heard that his son was involved in the oil for food scam. These people must be so stressed.
