Maybe it’s because I played Winston Churchill in 8th grade, but my only thought when I heard that was, “You are the head of the United Nations, dude, step up to the plate with strong leadership and determination to succeed, or step aside.”

Because good lord, if the United Nations is “overwhelmed” by what’s happened in Haiti, why even bother trying?
