Totally agree...

The U.N. has demonstrated that it is undemocratic. It is a place where despots and looters have excessive influence. Its guiding philosophy is the political correctness of the elites, unsullied by input from their inferiors.

this is just a "taste" of what goes on in the third world.

Despots and looters is right...

I met a few (in breeding), while I lived in England.

Just because they attended LSE (or other similar breeding grounds), AND they were there thanks to a combination of their respective political connections and the generosity of specific government agencies... they thought themselves as near-gods.

The ultimate shock to me (an a-political being who despise the idea of telling others what to do, since I myself hate it when it is done upon me), was to learn that the ultimate dream of every single one of these leaches was to become, sooner or later, El Presidente of their respective republics...

After that...

Ask me if I trust any politician that flashes their academic credentials obtained outside their homeland.

I have seen how these cockroaches behave from the intimacy of a "college pal" point of view... and seen their true character, so when they tell me that they have the best education and will be "good for their country", I simply do not trust them.

The best example I can give you, (short of revealing some of the lower echelon specimens of certain governments), of whom I have lost track anyway... is the recent president of Mexico Carlos Salinas de Gortari, whose brother is a common murderer and drug dealer... While in power and in their "element" they are exactly what you said, despots and looters. If they were executives of private companies and behaved like that, they would be put in jail in an instant.

President Clinton's sexual exploits are laughable compared to these tyrants... then again... who knows what really went on behind the scenes in other aspects... as I said, the American politicians are looking and sounding closer to their third world counterparts...

and now... I will stop venting and get off the soap box
