A not uninteresting piece from a disinterested Source

I'm amazed at the lack of coverage of the U.N. Oil for Food Scandal, especially since even uninterested observers tend to acknowledge that it is the biggest fraud ever committed in history(!). Anyway, Mark Steyn has a great piece in the London Telegraph analyzing some of the latest developments, as well as the U.N. in general. It's worth reading, if only to get caught up on what's going on.

Money passage:

"As you may have noticed, the good people of Darfur have been fortunate enough not to attract the attention of the arrogant cowboy unilateralist Bush and have instead fallen under the care of the Polly Toynbee-Clare Short-approved multilateral compassion set. So, after months of expressing deep concern, grave concern, deep concern over the graves and deep grave concern over whether the graves were deep enough, Kofi Annan managed to persuade the UN to set up a committee to look into what's going on in Darfur. They've just reported back that it's not genocide. That's great news, isn't it?...Instead, it's just 70,000 corpses who all happen to be from the same ethnic group – which means the UN can go on tolerating it until everyone's dead, and Polly and Clare don't have to worry their pretty little heads about it...

That's the transnational establishment's alternative to Bush and Howard: appoint a committee that agrees on the need to do nothing."

What a great description of the U.N. at "work."
