Thread Name: BS: Kofi Annan--inept or not? Your opinion.
Subject: RE: BS: Kofi Annan--inept or not? Your opinion.
Without more power than it has now there isn't much it COULD do better. Yes, the WHO and UNICEF (and other aid organizations of that nature (and do NOT pull the pedantic card and say that the WHO isn't an aid organization because I will have to respond pffffft to you and say it's a 'helping' organization and really who cares about the semantics and don't tell me I'm anti-Semantic because I've heard that one before)--fact is, until the UN has the power to tell people to stop the fighting, it ain't gonna stop. And now, before you tell me I am naive or a day-dreamer or that I did too much stuff in the '60s when I did just enough, I am aware that the day is unlikely to come when the UN has the power to tell people to 'drop the gun'. And do not ever again accuse me of being pro-Bush in any way at all, or I will send you more messages with bad words in them than you have ever had before, and I can say bad words in seven languages including some curses from Old English. And if you didn't call me a pro-Bush guy then I will lift the pox from your house and for the next eight generations.
