Annan or the U.N.
One of these has to go, Annan or the U.N. Not only is it a failed organization, but it's leader has failed the world. In this post I will make the case against Kofi Annan, without mentioning the Oil for Food scandal.10 years ago, there was a genocide taking place in Rwanda. At that time, Kofi Annan was in charge of the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations and he did nothing to stop this genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutus. The U.N. Peacekeeping troops were already in Rwanda, but instead of ordering the troops to protect Tutsis from mass murder, Annan decided to remove many of the troops that were there. The U.N.'s force commander in Rwanda, Gen. Romeo Dallaire, sent Annan faxes that described the horrible situation. Once, he said, "could kill up to 1,000 Tutsis in 20 minutes" talking about the Hutu militia.
Annan did almost the same thing in Bosnia where the men were taken from the women and were never seen again.
This isn't something you can just look over, this is a serious act that aided the slaughter of many men and women. In one column, published in today's Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal, the author, Kenneth Cain, writes of his first hand account with a Rwandan Genocide Survivor:
Rwandans still seethe. Last month I went to a tiny, remote village, deep in the central Rwandan hills to meet Charles Kagenza, a famous Tutsi survivor who hid in the bell tower of a church full of Tutsis that was bulldozed to the ground, burying victims alive. When I told him I worked for the U.N. 10 years ago, just after the war, he looked me straight in the eye, with his one remaining good eye, and shot back, "What are you doing here? You had the capacity to save us but you abandoned us."
Kofi must go.
If you're not with us, you're against us
