UN chief calls for 'global leadership'

UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday stressed the need for "global leadership" as he pressed world leaders not to pursue narrow national interests in the face of hard economic times.

"I see a danger of nations looking more inward, rather than toward a shared future," he said at the opening of the UN General Assembly's annual debate.

He spoke of a "challenge of global leadership" to tackle the world's worsening financial, energy and food crises.

Imagine that...Monkey Boon wants "global leadership".  Hmmmm, wonder who he has in mind.   :whatever:

"It takes leadership to commit our soldiers to a cause of peace in faraway places. It takes leadership to speak out for justice. To act on climate change despite wonderful voices against you."


And of course he's gotta get in that comment about globalwarming change whatever they call it now this week.   :whatever:

The League of Nations became the UN after World War II. The League of Nations was a HUGE failure right there. The UN was established in San Francisco, but the Rockefellers donated land in Manhattan, so it ended up being headquartered there.

Re-translation:  "We want to string up some of your capitalists indiscrimately after suitably slandering their characters and reputations in public show trials, to keep our people back home from suspecting that it's the corruption of their own government that has them taking the economic shaft up the rump and taking it out on us."
