UN-accountable

Why do I suspect there’s a certain “screw you” quality to Kofi’s Annan’s “punishment” of Benon Sevan? Sevan is a Cypriot official who had already retired from the United Nations and had been collecting a token salary of $1 a year. In light of Paul Volcker’s investigation, Sevan was suspended with pay. So, in the end, Kofi Annan didn’t even have the nerve to take a single dollar away from a corrupt U.N. official.

Mark Steyn is right. It’s time for regime change in the UN: “But, if the UN wants to hold meetings, hector Washington, steal money and give tacit approval to genocide, let it – and let it sink into irrelevance.” Amen.
