It is Time to Bulldoze the United Nations

The UN officials have banged on the podium, have denounced the intimidation, have demanded that Robert Mugabe loosen his grip on power, and then in one final action of decisive world leadership, have called a big 'never mind' on the whole Zimbabwe ordeal. Emily Litella couldn't do a better job herself of echoing the sentiments of that most loved collection of inept crowned heads.

A draft resolution to impose sanctions on Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and a number of his key allies has been vetoed at the UN Security Council.

China and Russia both rejected the proposed measures, including a freeze on their financial assets and travel.

You know, cutting the feet off the wife of a political opponent and then burning her to death is no way to score political points at UN HQ, but gosh, you cannot punish every little thing, can you?

Once you have condemned these little acts in the strongest language possible, what is there left to do?

How about bulldoze the building?
