The UN is not perfect.
The UN needs reforming.
The UN, like all bureaucracies, could be streamlined.

So what do you think of this?
"Kofi Annan ordered United Nations flags at half-staff yesterday in tribute
to lately departed Palestinian supremo Yasser Arafat. . . . Say what you
will about Mr. Annan's decision, it is certainly true that for 30 years the
U.N. did what it could to elevate Arafat from terrorist to statesman. That's
something Americans might bear in mind when next told the war on
terror must be conducted under U.N. auspices."
