A clever enough analogy but the message is old, yes we all know Rupert and Co. are on a zealous misssion to discredit the UN.
I know the UN is not immune from criticism and capable of buearacratic bungling but I'm sick of peopple trying the blame the sorry state of the world on the UN, it is innaccurate and simplistic.
The UN is at the mercy of its member States, and the author knows it.
Multi-lateral organistions are far from perfect and making them meaningful is an ambitous task, but conceding defeat means we go backwards. Back to good old fasioned power politics and empire.
