Shit. Been there / done that a thousand times. We've beat this dead horse more than almost any other topic. Looooong before its self-appointed apologist came on the scene.

It's broken. Fatally. It can't get up. Kill it. Design one that will work limited to participants that will let it work. Everybody else can move to Paris and form a daisy chain.

#2 This may come as some surprise to Goo-fi, but the bashing may stop when, and only when, the change comes. IF it comes.

#5 I think we are jumping the gun here.

Let's have a conference. I just got a good deal on some French Chardonnay and truffles. And with pate fois gras, you all can pig out!

Deal?

#6 diplomatic immunity will be lifted from any U.N. employee who may face criminal charges stemming from the ongoing investigation

Now that is some serious throwing of the weakest off the troika to feed the wolf pack! Mr. Annan must be very seriously concerned about his own welfare.

#7 He urged countries to halt sharp attacks on the organization and give Annan's team a chance to put revisions and management changes in place.

Not Ready for Real Democracy Theater.

#9 Annan's office also said it was time to stop bashing the humanitarian organization.

The list grows longer.
First it was People's Democracies.
Then Islamic Democracies, were added.
And now, humanitarian organizations.
What's next?
