Obviously, Volker has a personal vendetta against the UN. :eek3:

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 7 - Secretary General Kofi Annan and the members of the Security Council received an 860-page report today excoriating their management of the oil-for-food program and saying the United Nations must be extensively overhauled if it is to earn global credibility and meet its 21st-century obligations.
"The organization requires stronger executive leadership, thoroughgoing administrative reform and more reliable controls and auditing," the report, compiled by a committee led by Paul A. Volcker, a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, said.
"At stake is the United Nations' ability to respond promptly and effectively to the responsibilities thrust upon it by the realities of a turbulent, and often violent, world," said the report, the result of a yearlong, $34 million investigation.
"In the last analysis, that ability rests upon the organization's credibility - on maintaining a widely held perception among member states and their populations of its competence, honesty and accountability."
This seems like a slap on the wrist to me. :nonono:
It would be mighty fine with me if the UN ceased to exist. :)
