Un Cluelessness

You can always count on the UN for an inane report. The headline of this article: Report: Reckless Post-War Spending Causes Corruption. The examples of "post-war corruption" are from Liberia, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Undoubtedly pumping money into these countries with no oversight or control, as the UN routinely does, will lead to corruption. But the countries cited were not exactly the perfect examples integrity and good governance before the wars. The UN has an amazing ability to grasp the obvious.
