It would seem that the UN staff is not pleased with the leadership in the organization’s upper ranks:

A union representing United Nations staff has voted "no confidence" in senior management but stopped short of singling out Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The vote is largely symbolic and has no effect over any U.N. officials' jobs. But it isn’t a good sign for the top leaders' effectiveness as heads of the world body.

Although the union president insisted that this was not directed at Kofi Annan, it is hard to imagine that he was not responsible for at least a portion of the frustration. Twice in the last two weeks, Annan has failed to take action against a senior official who has been accused of harassment. Other key points of contention are nepotistic rules violations as well as the looming specter of the oil-for-food scandal.

It is just this kind of unilateral declaration that the UN was created to eliminate. If brave Kofi would just drop his secretary part of his title, he could lead his mighty senior management into battle against the infidel staff members. Armed with sharpened oil-for-food contracts and powder blue helmets, the United Management would wreak paper cuts and rain down pink slips on the brave but under matched United Staff.

Not that the staff would be completely defenseless; the office supply cabinet would yield sufficient arsenals of IED (Improvised Elastic Devices) plus they would most certainly impose word processing sanctions – denying the world body the power to draft any resolutions, thus rendering them utterly ineffective.

(This is the sad part – Kleenex is highly recommended.) An ineffective UN means they will be unable to save the people (and especially children) in the troubled corners of the world…places like Iraq, Sudan and North Korea. They will also be unable to act against the troubling seizure of the government of the United States by 60 million snarling conservative terrorists. Wait, that explains everything!

This entire scenario has to be fresh from the desk of Karl Rove.
