To its committed members the UN is still the organization of heart, humanity, and justice, but to those removed a few paces it looks like Captain Hook's crew -- unelected dictators, rapacious theocratics, modern day slavers, ditzy-brained movie stars, fat-assed civil servant desk squatters, recovering alcoholics, autocratic wife-beaters, unashamed 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.
(With apologies to Nicholas Von Hoffman, who originally wrote a paragraph in much the same vein about the Democratic Party.)
