Didja ever wonder about the utility of the UN? Jpost DIASPORA by MELISSA RADLER Bizarro by the Bay Just three days after the world awoke to Saddam Hussein's capture, the United Nations grappled with one of the several anti-Israel items on its agenda: "Armed Israeli aggression against the Iraqi nuclear installations and its grave consequences for the established international system." The agenda item, circa 1981, was neither removed nor ridiculed, but deferred to the General Assembly's 2004 session. "I think the UN is bizarro world," said Israeli deputy ambassador Arye Mekel after the session. Bizarro world is an alternate universe, popularized on Seinfeld and the Superman comics, where everything is opposite to what it usually is, and while many goings-on at the UN this year have left Israelis scratching their heads, Mekel called the 23rd annual condemnation of the feted IAF raid "the ultimate proof of bizarro world." "Do they think the destruction of Iraq's nuclear capability was a mistake?" Mekel asked. (At the UN, the answer is probably yes.) "Every time I enter the building, I think I'm on Seinfeld," he noted. "I always look for George and Kramer." jpost.com.
