U.N. Official Calls U.S. 'Ungainly Giant,' and UN a "neighborhood association"
Got that? The United Nations is just a big, warm, fuzzy neighborhood association. Sort of like a global HOA. So says Kofi Annan's chief of staff:

"This ungainly giant of a nation that has led the world in advancing freedom, democracy and decency, cannot quite accept membership in the global neighborhood association, and the principle of all neighborhoods — that it must abide by others' rules as well as its own," Malloch Brown said at the commencement address to Pace University law students.
