You'll be shocked, shocked, to discover, turning
these pages, that the United Nations is an utterly corrupt gang
of despots, murderers, and kleptocrats, not just ineffectual
against but, in some cases, complicit in supporting
terrorism, while sanctimoniously proclaiming the moral
equivalence of savagery and civilisation. And that
the European
Union is a feckless, collectivist, elitist club of
effete former and wannabe great powers facing a demographic
and economic cataclysm entirely of their own making. But you knew that,
didn't you? That's the problem with this thin (less than 150
pages of main text) volume. Most of the people who will read it
already know most of what's said here. Those who still believe
the U.N. to be “the last, best hope for peace” (and their numbers
are, sadly, legion—more than 65% of my neighbours in the
Canton of Neuchâtel
voted for Switzerland to join the U.N.
in the March 2002 referendum) are unlikely to read this book.
