Lead or Get off the Pot

U.N. Hears Annan Condemn Global Violations

(AP) -- Before a vast assembly of world leaders, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Tuesday criticized the violation of basic laws around the globe -- from cold-blooded massacres and prisoner abuses in Iraq to the seizing of children in Russia and widespread rape in Sudan. "Today the rule of law is at risk around the world," Annan said. "Again and again, we see fundamental laws shamelessly disregarded -- those that ordain respect for innocent life, for civilians, for the vulnerable -- especially children."

Then get off your ineffective ass and do something about it, Kofi. You're the head of the organization that's supposed to be stopping this stuff from happening, fercrissakes. Instead, you're the head of an impotent debating society busy with doing nothing but protecting tinpot dictators the world over, lining your pockets while people suffer and die, and trying to stick it to the US every friggin' chance you get.

By the way, Kofi, while we're sharing this special moment...

The filling of mass-graves, the rape-rooms, the torture chambers, the blowing up of school kids, the beheadings of innocent civilians, the genocide in the Sudan, the slave-trade in Africa and some poor Iraqis getting panties stuck on their heads are not morally equivalent actions. Stop trying to pretend that they are.

Putz.
