Zimbabwe may gain the vice-presidency of the World Food Programme (WFP) â€” despite the collapse of its own agricultural sector.

All seven African countries presently on the WFP's 36-strong executive board are believed to support the bid of Robert Mugabe's regime.

If successful, Zimbabwe will be in line to become the president of the world's largest supplier of humanitarian aid next year.

Once one of Africa's leading food exporters, Zimbabwe has needed WFP supplies since 2001. At present, almost one million of its people, mainly orphans and schoolchildren, are receiving emergency food aid.

Mr Mugabe has blamed drought, but critics say the country enjoyed better than normal rains last year. They also point out that the onset of the food shortages coincided exactly with the regime's seizures of white-owned farms.

In addition, Zimbabwe has the world's highest inflation rate of 1,594 per cent, putting even basic foodstuffs beyond the reach of many families.

And for our next trick we're bringing back Jeffery Dalmer to run Homeland Security. We're also putting Hezbollah and Al Qeeda in charge of peacekeeping. And as the fucking cherry we're letting Pakistan and Saudi Arabia run the Women's Rights Committee. Does this help y'all realize how insanely fucked up this is? I swear this goes through I'm gonna give up and start calling for the Westren Democracies to bite the bullet and withdraw from the UN along with the fucking dues! And they can get the fuck out of New York!

My thoughts cannot be conveyed in words, but my feelings can be demonstrated with a series of emoticons.

I'm amazed that they didn't mention Mugabe blaming the EVIL WORLD CONSPIRACY that's been plotting to destroy Zimbabwe from the outside in.

Well, there were those countries on the Human Rights Commission, so it's not unprecedented. You know what I'm talking about.

Why does anybody expect anything good from the UN? I mean, it's a quorum composed of the world's governments, and... the world's governments largely suck. Hell, as unwieldy as the SC vetoes are, their mere presence has likely saved us from some grotesquely royal stupidity being proposed and passed.

The UN, like the LoN before it, was a noble idea, but as structured it was essentially guaranteed to become a gathering of assholes, idiotic bureaucrats, and thieves both petty and... um... grand*.

*The opposite of petty theft is grand larceny, so the opposite of a petty thief is obviously a grand larcenist.

Hey maybe we should put Sudan on the Human Rights Commision while we're at it, or did that already happen?
