Louise Frechette, deputy secretary general of the UN, is implying that the reason for the oil for food scandal was unpreparedness. She is quoted as saying, "we have also seen that the program has revealed some basic weaknesses in our own internal systems". Would those weaknesses be a total lack of integrity, greed and malfeasance throughout the organization?
Let's not discuss systems, Louise, let's discuss personnel. Systems are put in place and executed by people.
I am sick to death of the attempts to place blame on inanimate objects or processes instead of holding people accountable for their actions.
The UN is one of the great enablers of all time, placating every petulant popinjay dictator instead of demanding accountability. Now of course, they want the same treatment for themselves. Hell, no!
