It is not encouraging that he currently is leading the appeasement camp with the N.Koreans.

In Hebrew Kof is a monkey and Annan is a cloud.

Two-thirds of the world governments are corrupt kleptocracies paying lip service to one -ism or another. So long as they each get a vote, nothing will come out of the UN except scandal and corruption. No matter how many zeros you add, your total is still close to zero. Might have something to do with the fact that most of Africa now has HIGHER infant mortality and FEWER miles of paved road than befor ethey kicked out the "exploiting imperial dogs" - but PEerless Leader sure does have a big Swiss Bank acount and a bullet-proof Mercedes limo....
In plain English: the third world is a hell hole ruled by vicious, unprincipled dictators. The United Nations is their free forum. If we had any sense, we'd expel it.

"To its committed members the United Nations is still the party of heart, humanity, and justice, but to those removed a few paces it looks like Captain Hooks crew -- ambulance chasing lawyers, rapacious public policy grants persons, civil rights gamesmen, ditzy brained movie stars, fat assed civil servant desk squatters, recovering alcoholics, recovering wife beaters, recovering child-buggers, and so forth and so on, a grotesque line up of ill mannered, self pitying,caterwauling freeloaders banging their tin cups on the pavement demanding handouts."Such are the (slightly) paraphrased comments of Nicholas von Hoffman . . . though he was writing about the Democratic Party, the statement is still applicable to the U.N.
