#1 It irks me that this A**hole is basically on the American tax payroll, and has the stones to use his bully pulpit to excoriate the hand that feeds him. Not to mention, most likely charged a speaker's fee in the six digits...

US out of the UN, UN out of the US

#2 "What kind of world would it be, and who would want to live in it, if every country was allowed to use force without collective agreement, simply because it thought there might be a threat?"

What kind of world would it be? Well, if the Allies had made pre-emptive defence their policy in 1938 or before, it would have been a world without World War II. And Kofi and his ilk still would be bitching about unilateralism and pre-emption.

Screw this idiot and all his kind. Like mjh said: US out of the UN, UN out of the US!

#3 "All great American leaders have understood this," he said, as the 15,000 gathered in a damp Harvard Yard erupted in cheers and laughter.

Clinton. Bosnia.

#4 There has been so much flatulance at the college graduations this year that it is a wonder more people haven't passed out from the noxious odors.

#5 Strange.... he did not mention the Oil-for-Palaces program (Run by the HIS OWN OFFICE) or the ongoing investigation into the bribes from Saddam to (gasp!) France, Germany, and Russia (all of whom were agaist the war..). As I recall his own son somehow benefitted as well....

The UN head also reserved some muted criticism for his own organization, acknowledging that UN peacekeepers watched massacres in Bosnia and Rwanda in the 1990s without intervening.

And Bosnia is 'heating up' again while the bluehelmets watch. And no mention of the villiages razed, men and boys murdered and women and girls being raped in western Sudan.

I assume that since Sudan was voted to the Human Rights Comission that the United Nations (and Mr. Kofi personally) approved of the Genocide which is even now going on in Sudan.

#6 Kofi was in Cambridge (Peoples Republic of) yesterday? I was wondering what that stench was.
