Rabble Rousing Random Ramblings: Deliciously rich irony

Deliciously rich irony

It is a very good indicator of how organizations like the UN work, when Zimbabwe (-4.7% GDP "growth", at least 1000% inflation, unemployment rate of 80%), was elected chairman of the United Nation's Commission on Sustainable Development.

I really wonder what sort of contribution that commission can get from Zimbabwe's representatives. Perhaps the definition of sustainable development needs to be changed.

What next? A commission on 'Eliminating terrorism' being headed by Pakistan? A commission on 'Human Rights' headed by China? A commission on 'Co-operative decision making on the world stage' headed by the USA? UNICEF being headed by the LTTE's representatives?
