A Ruud Farewell

Ruud Lubbers said farewell to his staff at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees today. Among his parting comments:

"I saw a lot of misery during my time as High Commissioner, but a lot of wonderful things as well."

The misery of the woman you are alleged to have made unwanted sexual moves on, Ruudy boy?

For all its failures dealing with war, tyrants and repression, the UN has done good with refugees, so it's a shame Lubbers tarnished the reputation of that agency.
