U.N., R.I.P.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s Krauthammer time: U.N., R.I.P.

My son long ago introduced me to the joys of the Onion, the hilarious Web site that features such parodies of the news as “Clinton Deploys Vowels to Bosnia; Cities of Sjlbvdnzv, Grzny to be First Recipients.” So when, on the night of the State of the Union address, my son handed me an Internet printout headlined “Iraq to Chair U.N. Disarmament Conference,” I was sure he’d been dipping again into the Onion.

“It’s better than that, Dad,” he said. “It’s off CNN.”

I should have known. You can’t parody the United Nations. It inhabits — no, it has constructed — a universe so Orwellian that, yes, Iraq is going to chair the May 12-June 27 session of the United Nations’ single most important disarmament negotiating forum.
