Trouble is the UN has to answer to the rest of the world, Cheney doesn't. Certainly in the UK we take our conflicts of interests very very seriously (to the extent where I even feel sorry for some politicians [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ) - I'm sure the same is true for Europe. But corruption is all part of the smelly heap that is explicit lobby and interest-based politics.
