U.N. Efficiency

From The Federalist Patriot, regarding the tsunami relief efforts:

As one unidentified U.S. Foreign Service Officer on duty in Indonesia said concerning UN bureaucrats criticizing U.S. relief efforts: "As we come up on two weeks since the disaster struck, the UN is still not to be seen where it counts -- except when holding well-staged press events. ... Ah, yes, but the luxury hotels are full of UN assessment teams and visiting big shots from New York, Geneva, and Vienna. The city sees a steady procession of UN Mercedes sedans and top-of-the-line SUV's -- a fully decked out Toyota Land Cruiser is the UN vehicle of choice; it doesn't seem that concerns about 'global warming' and preserving your tax dollars run too deep among the UNocrats. ... I realized that if not for Australia and America almost nobody in the tsunami-affected areas would have survived more than a few days. If we had waited for the UNocrats to get their act coordinated, the already massive death toll would have become astronomical. But, fortunately, thanks to retrograde racist war-mongers' such as John Howard and George W. Bush, as we sat in air conditioned meeting rooms with these UNocrats, young Australians and Americans were at that moment 'coordinating' without the UN and saving the lives of tens-of-thousands of people."

Yet another great reason for why we all should perform ablutions at the altar of the U.N.
