Re: Muammar Gaddafi

The current President of the UN's General Assembly (different from the UN's Secretary General) is H.E. Dr. Ali Abdussalam Treki, Lybia's Secretary of African Union Affairs. Treki is the one who limited speakers before the General Assembly at this session to 15 minutes each. Before Gaddafi spoke, Treki introduced him as "King of Kings," and he made no effort to constrain the amount of time that Gaddafi used up - even though it stomped all over the times scheduled for other heads of state; nor did he reschedule those who Gaddafi steamrolled so that they could have their say.

This is not even remotely close to how the UN is supposed to be run. Since we pay 22% of the UN's budget, and since the other pretenders to superpower status (Russia and China) aren't even in the top 5 dues payers (the top 5 pay something like 60-70% of the UN support), this organization is nothing more than a freak show.
