Kofi Annan wishes for genocide and mass graves

Kofi Annan gave tacit support to human rights abusers operating unchecked throughout the world.

"I hope we do not see another Iraq-type operation for a long time - without U.N. approval and much broader support from the international community," Annan told the BBC.

So for you homicidal maniacs out there, if Kofi Annan gets his way, let the good times (and heads and limbs) roll.

The UN has only what credibility we choose to give it. It earns none and deserves even less. If stopping Saddam Hussein was illegal and illegitimate, then that is tantamount to approval of the Saddam Hussein regime, and Annan would give them the green light to continue their abuses. The UN, as a massive bureaucracy, is a failure. In the areas where the UN actually does work well should be put in place smaller, specialized organizations.

Annan needs to be sent packing back to Africa. Under his tenure Africa has hardly seen such strife. Annan has no business deciding the war in Iraq was illegitimate. UN member nations grant the UN legitimacy, not vice versa. Where there is widespread disagreement within the UN (as when 40+ nations supported removing Saddam), the UN has no authority. Where there is near unanimity there is authority. America is the single largest monetary supporter of the UN. Americans are getting a pretty poor return on our investment.
