#1 Military action against Iran over its nuclear ambitions would be "a disaster" and the only way to solve the impasse is through dialogue, former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said on Thursday.

Continuing to listen to your dhimi ass would be even more a disaster.

US out of the UN!

#2 If we do something about it, it will be a disaster. And if we don't do something about it, it'll be a disaster.
Thanks, Kofi. Sage advice, per usual. Just what we've come to expect from you...

#5 Look on the bright side. This might mean that Kofi got wind that somebody is laying the diplomatic groundwork for a war with Iran.

#6 "the only way to solve the impasse is through dialogue"
That assumption is basically the fatal flaw of every peace movement. They don't understand basic human nature, aggression, or the mutual exclusivity of certain cultures. See Neville Chamberlain, Munich Agreement of 1938, "Peace for our time", etc.

#7 Didn't he say about the same thing a while back in Rowanda?

#10 I don't know, but I think we ought to listen to Kofi. He IS an expert on disasters, after all.

#12 I'm sure military action by the United States, Israel, and a couple of other countries WOULD be a disaster - for Iran. Koffie is one of those tranzies that believes every problem can be solved by "dialogue". He's right, to a point, but it only works when both sides WANT an agreement. The Israelis and the paleostains have been "dialoguing" for 50 years, and all that talk accomplished diddley squat. For dialogue to work, it has to be the right KIND of dialogue, such as "Either we do it my way, or we'll bomb you back to the Precambrian. You have 24 hours to make up your mind." THAT kind of dialogue, followed by action, is the only way to get one's point across to someone who's trying everything in the book to keep from achieving a true solution to the problem.
