Deadlock At The UN.

From the AFP:

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Just days into a month-long UN conference on the fight against the spread of nuclear weapons, there is agreement on the need to reform the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) but deadlock over how to do it.

The meeting opened Monday without a set agenda and diplomats warned it could end in four weeks without even an agreed final statement. (Click on the title for the full article)

Surprise, surprise. The conference is deadlocked. What did we expect?

Did we really expect any positive results on the most sensitive issue facing the world, today? When the Secretary General can't control his own son, when the Human Rights Commission is led by the world's worst violators, and when the Security Council can't/won't take a definitive stand against terrorism, how do you expect them to do something productive?

It sounds to me like this is just another day at the office with no sense of urgency, no vision, and no commitment. However, there will be lots of partying, extravagant lunches, and a lot of wasted time and energy.

And to think that the Democrats are worried about John Bolton being too hardcore for the job.
