Kofi Annan’s undiplomatic (and hypocritical) farewell speech…

Despite the mess President George W. Bush has created in Iraq, the U.S. remains the greatest force for good in the world - providing, as it does, more financial and humanitarian aid to the poor (especially throughout Africa, Asia and the Caribbean), and doing more to broker peace (especially in the Middle East and on the Korean peninsula) than any other country by far.

Meanwhile, the UN has become such an enabler of tyrannical regimes that it expends more effort trying to define what constitutes genocide than providing safe havens for victims of genocide.

Yet, to listen to Kofi Annan during his farewell speech as UN Secretary General this week, one would think that America’s misadventure in Iraq vitiates all the good it’s doing elsewhere; which, of course, is a reductio ad absurdum (ie. Bullshit!).
