United Nations reform (laugh outloud)

Is it just me, or is there something ludicrous about the present administration of the United Nations under Kofi Annan announcing a "reform" of that body just days after a Volker report documented wide-spread corruption, inefficiency, unaccountability, and incompetence?

Like, why would anyone think such people were capable of reforming an insitution they have corrupted so thoroughly?

One of the best quotes was Egypt's Abdelaziz who said it was important to maintain the central authority of U.N. member states and,

"We are for giving the secretary-general greater authority if he is going to give us a better system for transparency and accountability," Abdelaziz said.

Maybe Paul Volker should refresh the Egyptian ambassador's mind?? Maybe the Egyptian ambassador doesn't have a mind.
