Not a current affairs post, honestly...
From Taylor & Co., this excellent summary:
"If Darfur were a man being mugged on the street, the UN Security Council would be a group of concerned onlookers who could not decide whether to:
1. Intervene personally and stop the mugging
2. Call the police, and let them stop the mugging
3. Call the ambulance after the mugger has had his way and departed
4. Ignore the whole thing and duck into Starbucks for a latte."
Cleaning up the UN will be a huge job, after Darfur and UNSCAM: a job for a flamethrower rather than a brush. Now that Tony's declared a willingness to envision a time after No.10, perhaps he could take it on. He would certainly want to do it and might just be capable. But he should be under no illusions: it would be tougher than his current job.
