My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

That's A Bit Of A Leap

The New York Times' lead editorial today is about the report that the U.S. has stopped searching for WMD's in Iraq, having found none. Which leads to the conclusion that. . .

all our loss and pain and expense in the Iraqi invasion has actually proved is that the weapons inspections worked, that international sanctions - deeply, deeply messy as they turned out to be - worked, and that in the case of Saddam Hussein, the United Nations worked.

The UN worked? Really? Anybody over at the Times' seen the reports of the $22 billion missing from the Oil-for-Food Program? Anybody over there notice how comfortably Saddam was living while his people continued to starve and/or be victims of mass murder? Anybody at the Times happen to notice how effectively many world bodies had been corrupted by bribery?

If that's working, I wonder why the Times was so hard on Enron.
