They seem desperate to preserve the impression that all is well at the United Nations &#8212; proof by itself that our contemporary hidebound &#8220;liberalism&#8221; is not only dead, it&#8217;s decomposed.(Further evidence is their rush to cover who &#8220;leaked&#8221; the Berger Affair rather than the alleged crime itself. Pathetic and, yes, reactionary.)]]>Sat, 24 Jul 2004 13:56:34 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L. Simon]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-l-simon/2004/07/24/brave-new-oil-for-food-revisited-n204129
