TWO GOOD REASONS TO ELIMINATE THE U.N.

Nicholas Kristof is obviously enraged by the lack of attention from the world regarding the genocide in Darfur. Sorry you have to look at the pictures, but this is what the U.N. is allowing to happen month after month, without raising a finger! Why do we need them?

Claudia Rosett, who is the leading reporter on the Oil-for-Food scandal (a measly $20 Billion ripped off from the Iraqi people) points out the total ineffectiveness, and lack of interest, of the UNHCR (United Nations Human Rights Commission) in assuring the rights of the North Korean refugees to mainland China - which is their charter. Why do we need them?

I am left with the same question I posed after Mark Steyn's U.N. analysis the 15th of this month: "Why the U.N.?" Someone please explain!

WORD FOR THE DAY: oeuvre

Hint: "The U.N.'s oeuvre is nothing to be proud of."
