It's tragic. And it's human. And problems seem to be human.

In the US, corporations are corrupt, including Halliburton under Cheney, and after.

Stock brokerages are corrupt, mutual funds are corrupt, Enron (is "Kenny-boy" in jail yet?), WorldCom, Shell, and on and on and on.

I suspect the UN does a better job than most at curbing these things.

The UN is democracy on a world level. It takes up issues no one else can, issues which affect more than one nation.

It doesn't always agree with the US, which seems to behave like a rogue nation in many areas.

    - A lot of U.S. politicians probably wish they had a Teflon coating half this good. - Tom Brosz - 4/21/2004 7:59:11 PM
