When Bureaucracy Attacks

Hello, friends.

In case anyone needed more proof that the United Nations is a functionless bureaucracy, Kofi Annan has released a statement saying that the UN needs to cut down on the number of reports it issues. Apparently the volume of reports, coupled with the fact that every report has to be translated into six languages, has become an overwhelming burden on the organization. The Fly released a statement saying that the United Nations should spend less time on paperwork and more time actually accomplishing something.

At a press conference in Liverpool, England with UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, Secretary of State Rice has defended the decision to go to war in Iraq, acknowledging that although there have been mistakes on the tactical level, that the overall decision to go to war was the right one. What's the CNN headline? "Rice: Thousands of errors in Iraq". Media bias? I think so.

The United States is mulling over whether to take on the task of destroying Libya's chemical weapons for them. It would be a good idea if you ask me; it sets a good example, and demonstrates that we're willing to back up our pledge to assist and encourage nations that are willing to give up their illicit weapons programs.

And Dan Quayle? Still gaining acceptance.
