Canada’s National Post has added its voice to the growing chorus of calls for U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan’s resignation. And it isn’t just the Oil-for-Food scandal—the biggest financial scam in the history of mankind—cited as the reason:

Mr. Annan has also watched as the U.N. Human Rights Commission has degenerated into a laughingstock run by some of the worst human-rights abusers in the world. He has refused to stop the U.N. agency responsible for delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees from assisting terrorists. And from Rwanda to Srebrenica, East Timor to Sudan, he has time and again permitted himself to be conned by tyrants and butchers while they have murdered hundreds of thousands of innocents.

Some view these scandals as signs that the U.N. needs to be thoroughly reformed. I think they’re proof that the U.N. is structurally incapable of fulfilling its mission. The U.N. occupies valuable land on the east side of midtown Manhattan. It should be put to good use.
