Re: Unfit To lead The United Nations, editorial, March 30.

While I wholeheartedly agree that Kofi Annan is unfit to continue to serve as Secretary-General of the UN, his resignation alone will not save the institution. The UN needs the credibility of the member states and the public at large to survive otherwise it runs the risk of becoming what Sir Winston Churchill feared, a "Tower of Babble."

The Canadian government should be prepared to offer more suggestions to help save the UN from its current state where dictators and tyrants run the General Assembly, peacekeepers face accusations of raping young girls in Africa and where possible corruption and bureaucratic waste are all but ignored.
