"Prevent the UN From Pirating the Internet" by Steven J. DuBord

You will see among them such ships of state as Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Zimbabwe, hardly paragons of liberty and human rights. All of them are waving their cutlasses in outrage that the United States is refusing (for now) to relinquish its supervisory role over the private-sector, not-for-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Even the European Union has revealed its true colors and fired a broadside of protest against supposed U.S. dominance of the Internet. The captain of this bunch of scurvy knaves is none other than the UN secretary-general himself, Kofi “Oil-for-food” Annan (who apparently wears his eye patch over the eye that he is supposed to use to watch over his corrupt underlings).
