#2 The article cites The Hague as the venue, but I suspect a ruling from that court will have the full force of law and morality than U.N. resolutions do, and about the same relevence.

#3 They'll go through the carade and issue the obvious ruling, which will be promptly ignored. Everyone will then blame the United States for setting the precedent by refusing to submit to the ICC, and refusing to sign Kyoto and the anti-land mine treaties.

#4 I want to change my vote now. I really think the U.N. should take over ALL peacekeeping efforts around the world. Bring the troops home and let Kofi take over. This was their FINEST hour!

#6 Lets not forget Kofi's other great moment - Rwanada.

He was in charege of UN peace keeping when Dallaire (the Canadian General in charge) sent message after message warning Annan about what was about to happen. At one point, Dallaire said that he could nip it in the bud if he launched a counter attack on weapons depots. Annan told to take no further action and notify the government. After the notification, Dallaire's informant was killed and the genocide was launched.

I guess that is how he got the UN chair.
