... "I think this initiative from America to set up four countries claiming to coordinate sounds like yet another attempt to undermine the UN," [Clare Short] told the BBC. "Only really the UN can do that job."...
I agree. Only the U.N. can undermine the U.N.; and they have done so most effectively. The U.N. was created in the darkest moments of World War 2. That time is no longer the world we live in.
Where does she get off claiming the UN has MORAL AUTHORITY?? The oil for palaces scam has shown just how "moral" the UN is, the subsequent attempts to cover up
this scam show just who's "authority" was used to implement it in the first place.
Many other Useless Nations "relief" efforts have shown the world that buildings full of UNocrats, un compounds, SUV's and Land Rovers for UNocrats to drive do not do any good in the countries of the people they are supposed to be helping. Paying huge amounts of money just so UNocrats can sit in luxury and watch millions die from genocide, starvation and dictators isn't doing the world any good at all. inviting the worlds worst human rights violators to head the UN office for human rights is a sick joke.
It's time to put an end to this pink elephant, and create a more effective, less costly organization. I think a room with a big enough table and chairs is really all we need.
Oh, and leaders of countries willing to do what is needed, like George Bush, Toney Blair, and that Australian guy.
