The New York Times > International > Secret Meeting, Clear Mission: 'Rescue' U.N.

Can the best advice save Kofi? Here, I thing is the key to his longevity:

"The official, a onetime senior government figure in Washington with close ties to the Bush administration, said he concluded that "they were not going to draw the sword against Kofi."

"Everyone I talked to, including the White House, said that if Kofi was going to go, it was going to be by the hand of the Volcker report, not by the hand of the Bush administration," the official said."


Nevertheless, the U.N. does much good work, probably with little fanfare and publicity. Nevertheless, they are less than fully effective and efficient. I've seen little leadership strength from Kofi. Those who oppose his leadership are right to keep up the pressure.

But can he escape the Oil-for-Food corruption? If crimes have been committed, what court will try the perpetrators?
