An Alien Looks at the UN

"I'm confused," said Martian anthropologist Mork, who visits me occasionally by flying saucer in his quest to understand human Earthlings. "This whole issue of Iraq and your so-called United Nations is baffling and most illogical."
I asked Mork to tell me what he had perceived, especially in the wake of President George W. Bush's Thursday press conference, so that I could explain our peculiar species.
"You have a criminal named Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq," said Mork. "Twelve years ago he invaded a neighboring nation and killed many people. After his conquest was arrested and rolled back, Hussein was to be punished by your United Nations. Because he agreed to surrender his large-scale weapons so he could never again threaten his neighbors, he was not tried as a war criminal but was put on parole, subject to international inspection and control."
The legal word "parole" can be quibbled, I told Mork, but thus far your understanding is correct.

Strange that an alien can see the UN so much more clearly than a Democrat or a Frenchman can.
