"This is the best secretary-general we've had since Dag Hammarsjold," he said in a telephone interview.

Words simply fail me.

"Nile Gardiner, a fellow in Anglo-American security policy at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said he believes "any major reform of the United Nations will be impossible under Kofi Annan."

Nile is telling the truth. The headline by AP, on the other hand, is a lie.

"Oil-For-Food Scandal May Harm U.N. Reforms"

Dismantling the U.N. may harm U.N. reforms. Heck, it might even make them unnecessary.

When a blue ribbon panel, after a year's work, released a report last week on how the world body should tackle wars, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, poverty and other threats, the spotlight should have been on its 101 recommendations.

I don't think so!

"Forget the corruption or we won't reform" isn't going to work this time. What an obvious red herring!

All the reforms in the world aren't worth a bucketful of spit if the same crooks are allowed to continue "serving" (themselves).

"There is a growing movement to defend the secretary-general and the United Nations, because member states feel that the attack is not only on the secretary-general but on the U.N.,"

BINGO... Give the man a Qupie doll.

Of course this knife cuts both ways. This also means their rush to save Annan is really just so much Ass Covering. A delegate with nothing to hide would be making Kofi walk the plank in order to SAVE the UN.

Should let that French dude that took a shot at Jacques Strap, and let him out of jail, and put a target on Kofi's back.

You see: our arrogance and our perverse independence is creating all kinds of problems for everyone. We should just stand down now, get in line and be good little world-citizen collectivists. And stop promoting that democracy. That makes it so difficult on all of the non-democratic member states. And why do we fixiate on this US Constitution and Bill of Rights? That just expresses an unhelpful superior attitude to international law.

I will do anything, say anything is Kofffiiii will just like us again!!

"Oil-For-Food Scandal May Harm U.N. Reforms"

Oh my gosh. I'm heart-sick. I'm been staying up nights worrying about UN reforms.

Words simply fail me.

I have several words in mind. Of course if I used them I'd get banned.

Instead the report was eclipsed by headlines that Sen. Norm Coleman (news, bio, voting record), R-Minn., was calling for Annan's resignation over the oil-for-food allegations.

THAT'S MY SENATOR!!!
