[Marxism] Kofi Annan books flak

["Jurriaan Bendien" <andromeda246@xxxxxxxxx>]

Question is, ladiesz and gentlemen, whether in fact the United Nations is a
whorehouse for US military adventure tourism? Personally, I think we ought
to draw some distinctions here, and draw the line. A whorehouse is a
whorehouse, a political organisation is a political organisation, for
example.

The UN is supposed to uphold some standards of human MORALITY.
The UN is supposed to be a forum for WORLD opinion.
The UN is supposed to defend the heritage of human CIVILISATION.
The UN is supposed to champion the cause of human PROGRESS.
The UN is supposed to reveal the stubborn scientific FACTS about human
development on this earth.
The UN is supposed to uphold international JUSTICE.

(I confess I had a few too many, but think of this - HELL NO, WE WON'T
GO!!! - the brothers will understand what I mean).

If the UN cannot deliver on these six points, what have we got???

You know what I think it is? The American forces think the Iraqis are
STUPID. They don't know what's good for themselves. But think of this - is
it STUPID not to want to live a full life? Is it stupid, to want to grieve
your dead?

That's where it's at, as far as I am concerned.

J.
