#1 Strange as it seems, even those steps might not be enough â not for critics whose demands for reform mask a deeper goal. They will not be satisfied unless the U.N. submits to the will of the United States.

Stan, those folks demanding reform are your friends.

There is a rather large group called Americans who understands the UN is a corrupt ongoing criminal enterprise, and those organizations deserve only one fate: Dismantlement.

But, we will allow Kofi and company to move the UN elsewhere. I hear Paris is nice this time of year.

I would like to know what kind of deal did Kofi, or your LA Times handlers make to get this article written. Threaten to cancel the book contract, offered a bribe, maybe a shot at a goat or a starving kid, maybe a bribe?

#3 "...unless the UN submits to the will of the United States" - mean, besides the fact Amer contribution per annum is at minima 25%, and which most scholars and analysts agree is much more higher; or was it that PRIVATE Americans DONATE more to UN-sponsored international aid and humanitarian programs than the next many nations on the list. at least accor to FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Yes, the Cold War USSR had COMECON, etc. but that org was USSR/Russia-centric i.e. dem dat a'beenafits went predomin to the USSR/Russia, NOT FROM THE USSR/RUSSIA TO ANYONE ELSE - you know, International Socialism's being an Equal amongst Equals!

#4 And no amount of fawning will satisfy you, Stanley. You're such a tool, lol, and a toady. Wotta load of foolishness and fear mongering. This should guarantee his spot on the cocktail circuit's 'B' list. You can take off your knee-pads now, Stanley.

Good call, bad, the recent article supposedly written by Kofi himself on the Internet power grab is another example of MSM pandering by publishing such obviously bloated and biased puffery.

#5 NB: The guy's writing Kofi's ~~hagiography~~biography, which means he's more likely to take a dump in church as to point out that Kofi's Krowd is chin-deep in corruption. Also, his declaration that the electoral college needs reform marks him as a grade-A moonbat of the "Gore Won" crowd.

FWIW, I'd be glad to give the UN complete independence from the US. We'll just stop sending them any cash, and they won't depend on us any more.

#8 Somebody should tell this guy that the oil for food money dried up long ago so there is no point sucking up to the UN now.

#9 It has become political cant, sometimes as meaningless as waving the flag.

Still means something to me you traitor.

#10 Another fact hardly ever mentioned by critics is that the wonderful diversity of the U.N. does not necessarily lend itself to efficiency.

Carefull mister...talk like that may upset the sensibilities of your Trans-National Progressive heros.

#11 He failed to mention the ongoing food-for-nookie programs in the Congo, Bosnia, and other places.
Not to mention its repeated denouncement of Israel defending itself while giving aid-and-comfort (in the form of ~~weapon transports~~ ambulances) to the terrorists who blow people up.

I lost all hope for the U.N. after watching the performance of its Vampire Vulture Elite at the Tsuami disaster earlier this year. After watching them take credit for everything eveyone else did I decided that the UN cannot be reformed - it has to be replaced.

#12 Why does it have to be replaced?

#13 Good question RC! I was thinking along the lines of a Group of [true] Democracies.
