Ban Ki-moon: Just another shill

Ban Ki-moon, dubbed the "Invisible Man" by The Wall Street Journal, has of late become quite transparent indeed as a shill for the failed policies of the United Nations.

About halfway through his first term as secretary-general, Mr. Ban stands by his self-professed "quiet diplomacy" when decisive leadership is so desperately needed. And instead of rightful condemnation, he condones U.N. lunacy.

Following Iran's rogue election of a world miscreant, the titular head of Turtle Bay reportedly dispatched a letter of congratulations to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Splattered by the blowback, the U.N. quickly issued an explanation, saying Mr. Ban's letter wasn't an endorsement but an expression of hope "that Iran and the United Nations will continue to cooperate closely in addressing regional and global issues."

Obviously that excludes Iran's nuclear ambitions, against which the United Nations has been utterly useless.

Meanwhile Ban has been anything but quiet in the U.N.'s fear-mongering over global warming, telling an audience at an economic forum that humanity has "just four months ... to secure the future of our planet." Only four months because the "science" of the U.N.'s climate canard rapidly is crumbling as more nations reject its tax-looting, industry-crippling diktats.

Ban Ki-moon continues the unremarkable tradition of his predecessors, giving the United States and like-minded nations more reason to abandon this ship of fools.

Mr. Ban Ki Moon may have many deficiencies, but I profoundly disagree with the observations of this commentator that his dealings with Iran and climate change are misplaced. By the way, on climate change, there is no such thing as "UN scientists" - the scientists who are convinced of the ill effects of climate change are world recognized scientists. Ban's concerns have been no more alarming than those of Al Gore's.

We certainly cannot sit back, as the commentator would like us to do and promote reckless and unregulated business growth at the cost of the environment, we tried that with the banks and insurance companies and the result is well known.
