Title: The UN is not corrupt
Post by: Krusher on March 27, 2004, 11:37:43 AM

Define corrupt :)


NZ Herald article (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3557279&thesection=news&thesubsection=world&thesecondsubsection=)


Almost a year ago, when kitchen workers at United Nations headquarters walked off the job in a dispute over holiday pay, the cream of the world's diplomats knew just what to do. They thronged to the site's five unattended restaurants and stole everything that wasn't nailed down.

As one witness marvelled after seeing an envoy make off with a baked turkey under one arm and a framed picture under the other, "They were locusts!"



According to the best estimate of the nonpartisan US Government Accounting Office, Oil for Food generated at least $10 billion ($15.4 billion) for Saddam's family and a further $1 billion ($1.54 billion) to pay the 1000-plus UN bureaucrats who were supposed to be keeping it honest.

all diplomats and politicians are thieves and scumbags.   If they bother to have anything to do with the UN then they are most likely the worst of the sad lot.

if you're not sure what a word means,  just break it down to it's roots and define them, then put it all back together

politician, from the word politics-

politic,  poli + tics-

poly (meaning- many) + ticks (meaning- little blood sucking parasites)

Finding corruption at the United Nations is like ‘Clubbing Baby Seals’.  It’s just too easy…
