Thread Name: BS: Kofi Annan is an arrogant asshole
Subject: RE: BS: Kofi Annan is an arrogant asshole
Well---you must be in an exhausted state by now, Doug R! Molotov has been chuntering ceaselessly for a book's worth and some odd hours over and above. Just so you don't feel lonely, you do have company in your amusement. I find the ravings of Molotov more laughter-inducing than those of Seinfeld by a fair margin. What does set the teeth on edge, however, is the fact that some folk take the man seriously---some even agree with him! I did him the courtesy of checking on some of his blue clickies. The last one I looked at referred to TWO committees [all good-ole USA in absolute total content] which were sitting in some kind of weird judgement of Kofi Annan and the operations of the U.N. Now this would be a fairly harmless diversion for the sages involved, if only they were doing it for their own little satisfaction. But they [think they] aren't! The world is expected to take their ramblings as being of much greater import than all that can be accomplished by a U.N. which is comprised of every nation of the world having a genuine interest in the welfare of ALL the Earth's people. Unfortunately [and I think you must concur here] all the nations of the world do NOT believe in settling controversy by international discourse. Or even in keeping reasonably up with the funding which, by universal agreement, they are supposed to supply. If they do not believe in these things, should they not just keep themselves quiet? They'd look less ridiculous if they did. Molotov and his many thousands of friends, however, are more inclined to shove those facts in the faces of others and think that they've scored thereby. What folks like him don't get is the FACT that the "facts" that he is holding up in this instance for all to see SHOULDN'T BE facts at all! If there is provable mismanagement of funding in the UN organisation, please bear in mind that the USA is one of the top group of nations involved in it. They themselves, if they have been as closely in touch as they should, must bear some of the blame which is being so triumphantly tossed around.
