#1 Is their blood on his hands?

Why the question mark? Maybe it's because the real question is not if the blood is on his hands, but in his stomach. The blood was poured into a nice clean glass by a staffer. Kofi never needed to get it on his hands.

I can think of no more vile person on earth than Kofi Annan. He was given the charge to protect the most dire on the face of the earth and he used his position to steal from them.

#4 Notice how all the trolls who call for an International Tribunal for Bushie never seem to tag Kofi for his contributions to the charnel piles created under his ~~lack of~~leadership? Of course if Bushie had acted similarly, the howls would drown out an extra hour or pages daily in MSM.

#5 Slightly OT:

Has anyone else out there had a chance to see a political ad being run on tv calling for more leadership from Prez Bush to go to the UN to "Stop the Genocide" in Darfur? Just saw it the first time this morning.

I don't know who bought and paid for the ad, but I'm fairly certain it's not the RNC.

The ad intends to leave the impression that the continued genocide in Darfur can be laid specifically at the feet of Prez Bush (and Repubs in general).

Disgusting. Alot of uninformed voters will buy this BS.

Payback from the Dems for Repub criticism of Clinton on Rwanda? Yeah, I suspect so.

What pisses me off is that the real blame in Darfur is with the icon of the Dem party: the UN which recieves no criticism from the Dems.

#7 But it isn't Kofi personally---any UN chief would be guilty of same. The problem is with UN's basic premises.

#8 It seems that the UN just plays a big obstructionist role. The US is slow to react to threats like NorK and Iran because it has to take the politically correct path through the UN, which just results in a bunch of posturing based on the lowest common denominator which is usually trying to enable the evil behavior and its consequences. The UN itself is slow to react even to famine, the clearest of problems with the simplest of solutions, and everyone stands around waiting for the UN to get off its a$$ and do something and more people end up dying as a result. The UN was conceived right after a big war when people were more idealistic and responsible and could not imagine the liberalism, complication and political correctness that plagues the world today. It is time to go and replace it with a structure that does more to foster action and responsility, and to discourage enabling evil behavior.
