This is just a great article on the corruption and failures of Kofi Anan and the UN. Kofi's abeyance of duty starts long ago and has continued to today. The level of failures by he and The Institution (UN) merit a distancing or abdication from by the United States. In other words, we as a country need to boot the UN or force a major change in the definition and purpose of the United Nations.

Here's part of the article:

The United Nations has been so completely been shaped by the failures of its presiding leader Kofi Annan that this octopus-like amalgamation should be characterized as Annanistan. A requirement of world peace is that Annanistan be not just contained, but that Annan himself be ousted. Annan has clearly shown an unwillingness or inability to correct his mistakes or deal with the corruption that has perverted the purpose of the UN.

The most important issue facing the world today is terror. Yet Annan has always been weak-kneed when confronting one of the most severe manifestations of terror, genocide. Indeed, he won’t confront it at all, except perhaps when forced to. But even then he acts in the most perfunctory and ineffectual ways.

In 1995, Annan was the head of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations. During this time, the commander in Rwanda notified Annan by letter that the ruling Hutu regime in Rwanda was planning on committing genocide against the minority Tutsi population. This genocide did occur while the UN sat on its hands. Investigations subsequently revealed that not only was this warning ignored by Annan, but also the letter to him was in fact deliberately suppressed.
