Main Mission of the U.N. -

..."I'm not happy to say this, but I think the main mission of far too many bureaucrats at the United Nations is simply to never have to move out of Manhattan. (After all, there's no Ritz Carlton in Paraguay.) That's what Hans Blix means by "stability": not having to sell his place on the Upper East Side and move back to a low-ceilinged cottage from a Strindberg play. But you know what? The far worse thought is that Blix and the rest of them think they're doing a great job.

We've been too selfish keeping the United Nations to ourselves and should give other countries a chance. Soon. Like, tomorrow. Let all the other delightful regimes in that body have a chance at hosting thousands of leeches who'll run up endless parking tickets they won't pay."
