Saw old Kofi on today, and he seemed VERY reticent to want to tackle the post war reconstruction and management. Perhaps he finally realizes the UN pretty much sucks at everything except giving out humanitarian aid and administering post war Iraq is more than the UN can chew.

kofi realizes he better go with the united states or he will loose the "measly" 20 BILLION in the oil for food program.

Following france is a prescription for disaster.

If we want to neutralize the threat of the French and Germans, we need to diminish the value of the Euro as an international standard.

In this world the international language is english and the international currency of transactions is the US Dollar.

It seems like everyone's spouting this notion that the UN is good at handing out humanitarian aid. I seem to recall that not too long ago, lots of UN "humanitarian" workers in Africa were busted for trading aid for sexual favors from the people they were supposed to be helping. I also seem to recall another report that claimed that the majority of new AIDS cases in Africa were caused not by sexual contact, but by exposure to contaminated needles and other medical equipment in the public health clinics, many of which are managed (mismanaged?) by the corrupt African governments with help from the UN. Of course, these stories were very quickly spiked by the media.

I'm not trying to pick on you, but this is a bone that I've wanted to gnaw on for some time now, and your post gave me an opening. If nothing else, maybe it's reason to reconsider even allowing the UN to hand out food and water packets to the Iraqis.

NAH! He's realizing that the American people want the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN! If we succeed, the UN will lose major bucks! We not only pay 25% of the dues, but billions in peace keeping expenses, food aid, medical aid etc. Kofi's afraid of losing his meal ticket.

Please all, phone, fax, email and write your homeboys and the White House and demand US withdrawal from this corrupt, inept, Anti-American organization. There are better uses for our hard earned tax dollars.
