On the subject of Kofi Annan and the UN, that is a sad tale of how lofty ideals and reality can clash and come crashing to the ground so thoroughly. In spite of the founding principles of the UN, what exists today is a body paralyzed not just from inaction, but from petty squabbling and worst of all, blatant corruption as reported in many articles like the one below : insightmag.com and this one : nationalreview.com Kojo Annan, son of Kofi Annan, had a role to play in the iraqi oil for food program. This issue really requires attention from the world press. Given the state of the world today, the UN can do so much to alleviate human suffering, but reality today is so far removed from that ideal. It is not clear if a world body atrophied with layers of bureaucracy and inaction can be reorganized to the goals described by the founding nations, but regardless, when the problem goes to the top, then the housecleaning must also start from there.
