Chicken Yoghurt scoffs at the UN in a post in response to an article about the UN's scolding of the U.S. for not sharing intelligence about North Korea's aid to Syria in building a nuclear reactor. The blogger specifically attacks Mohamed ElBaradei, the International Atomic Energy Agency chief, by suggesting that he not do his job by getting involved. The blogger writes that ElBaradei should have realized that the precedent set by Hans Blix several years earlier was for the UN to remain somewhat hands-off when it comes to American Republican governments and their plans for squelching nuclear weapon development in the hands of other countries.
The blogger, Justin McKeating, takes an ironic tone, and even as he is criticizing ElBaradei, he is agreeing with him that this is something the UN should be monitoring. McKeating has the freedom to criticize institutions such as the UN without considering political alliances, and because he is not bound to commenting on completely relevant things, he can bring up old news such as Hans Blix without having to worry about being unbiased.
