Nothing riles me up faster than people complaining about information gathering agencies, a crucial part of the UN. It's an anti-scientific attitude--therefore anti-engineering and anti-progress. Things like the security council and the human rights council have plenty of problems, but WHO, UNDP and even UNICEF show the UN was and still is a great idea.  <br/><br/><a></a><a></a>Posted by<a><b> </b></a><a HREF="http://ssrdatta.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="sahelidatta at hotmail dot com">Saheli</a> Reform?

i was going to say that with the heightened rhetoric i was surprised nobody’s taken a shot at UN headquarters recently. then i realized bolton represents an opportunity for “reform.” then i realized what i should have realized a willion jillion years ago, that the existence of the UN allows people dedicated to smoke-filled reform to own and operate the federal candy store as they see fit, seeing as it’s a bulwark and last stand against the threat of world government and french people taking away our guns.

then i wondered about “the coalition of the whaling” and international dilution and clicked [post comment].
