UN Once Again Fails at Reform by Eliott Engel

Kofi Annan attempted to calm the naysayers of the UN’s latest concoction, the new Human Rights Council, in a recent Wall Street Journal commentary (free link here).

Engel is brilliant; where has he

He sees right through the conventional wisdom (which is really very frail), and gets right to the point.

I'd like to see more of Engel!
