[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Bite me. I dont think that giving HUGE sums of cash to organizations that propose to do good and [i]hoping[/i] the people responsible for using those funds does not give in to temptation is idiotic. Then, whenever someone is critical of the current UN administration's bungling and lack of ANY oversight, people like you speak up to say "Propose an organizational structure that works better or shut up". Well, fuck that- people like you are[i] exactly[/i] why it's gotten this far- by accepting it because "theres nothing better". You'd be royally pissed and screaming if the US embezzled 10 BILLION DOLLARS that was meant to feed the poorest people in Iraq, yet you'll defend ol' Kofi. [b]I[/b] dont just donate money to charities I dont trust- why should I want the UN handling $500 billion- intended for relief efforts- after they've [i]shown[/i] they cant manage $10 billion without it going into the pockets of that "upper echelon"? If an organization is corrupt, the leader of that organization should be held accountable. It's why we all voted against Bush- we dont have any such recourse with UN leadership though. I DONT hate the UN- I love the idea of it, just not the poor way it's currently handled. Any world leader with Kofi's track record would have been impeached long before now- unfortunately, there is no real way to replace him with the UN stuctured the way it is. We can all just hope he resigns and someone better is elected....not that we'll have any say in that. I[b] do[/b] think that the UN needs a real shake up in those "upper echelons" if it's [i]ever[/i] going to work as intended. You want a better organizational structure? Disolve the Security Council- give all UN member nations equal voice and allow any member-country to openly review it's finances. I never said I did not want the Un involved, but I have no idea who is handling all this cash- dont be suprised if we're talking about billions in missing relief aid this time next year.
