The UN does it again: Remember when the
UN appointed Libya to head their Human Rights Commission? That was ironic.
The latest outrage is that the
UN has just appointed Zimbabwe to head the UN Commission on Sustainable
Development. Is this some kind of cruel joke? The economic masterminds
of Zimbabwe have absolutely
wrecked the nation's once-thriving economy. Basic commodities are chronically
in short supply. Commerce and agriculture are in shambles, verging
on total collapse. They have turned a major food
exporter--once "the breadbasket of Africa""--into a food
importer,
with hundreds of thousands of their citizens malnourished, and thousands
now starving to death. Meanwhile,
the
grid power is now off more often than it is on. They have sown the seeds
of hyperinflation--expected
to soon exceed 24,000% per annum. I wouldn't
trust
them
to run
a
neighborhood lemonade
stand,
much
less chair the commission that ostensibly guides the
world on key economic and agricultural issues. Leave it to the UN to make this
sort of whacko appointment.
