North Korea to Head U.N. Conference on Disarmament

This is not all that surprising:

On Tuesday, the United Nations again made itself an international laughing stock – except perhaps to the American taxpayers who continue to foot 22 percent of the bill – by appointing North Korea chair of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament.

And I am not at all sure that UN's goal was to make itself an international laughing stock. After all, they are pretty consistent and insistent.

It's a pity Pol Pot is dead. He would have made a swell UN chief, I think.
