#2 I agree with Reynolds. For the first time in my life the UN is coming under some desperately needed scrutiny. Making Annan a scapegoat will just allow them to carry on with business as usual.

The UN is a corrupt institution, always has been. There are very good reasons why democracies always put elected officials (or the political nominees of elected officials) in charge of bureaucracies. Its to stop the bureaucrats spending all their time with their face in the trough.

Want to get a shocked silence at a dinner party, tell them 90% of the money their kids collect for UNICEF goes to fly 2nd cousins of corrupt 3rd world dictators around the world 1st class.
