Time to shut down the U.N. once and for all before we all come UN-done. Two weeks ago, Libya - which is not only known for abducting and torturing opponents of its, er, government, but is held responsible for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, and is ruled by violent, strongman Moammar Khadafy - was elected by an overwhelming majority of U.N. half-wits to chair the Commission on Human Rights. And now, it's announced that Iraq (yes, Iraq!) is in line to take over the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. Dear God! Can't we disarm the U.N.? Yes, the country that has supposedly stashed enough weapons of mass destruction to blow up the planet will be charged with overseeing every other country's disarmament. Time to kiss your gas, your lass, your weapons of mass and your - well, finish the rhyme - goodbye! Iraq gets the gig in May because - get this - according to U.N. rules, the disarmament chairmanship goes in alphabetical order. India's got the gig now, Indonesia gets it next, and then it's Iraq's turn. Hopefully they will not have detonated all their nuclear weapons by then, and will still have some to disarm - just to keep the job on the up and up. In defense of the disarmament debacle, Fred Eckhard, a spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) said, "I think you could expect that from time to time a 'letter' would come up that might raise questions in certain quarters, but it has no political significance, I would say." You would? I wouldn't.

Libya to chair the Commission on Human Rights? Iraq to have chairmanship on disarmament because of alphabetical order? what has the UN come to?
