"God gives all the conservatives seat in heaven and all the rest are condemed to hell"
We need to do a new study to find out whether those people who are VERY RELIGIOUS become PSYCHOTICS or those who are PSYCHOTICS become VERY RELIGIOUS.Would you like to go to the hell with all your religious PSYCHOTIC CONSERVATIVE BROTHERS who SEXUALLY MOLEST and SODOMIZE those YOUNG LITTLE AMERICAN BOYS in the CHURHCES who called those RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVES"FATHERS".Did you forget your CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN FOLEY.Was that a part of AMERICANISM to SEXUALLY HARASS UNDERAGE AMERICAN BOYS on the INTERNET?

Annan led an organization that is, believe it or not, even more corrupt than our congress. 3rd world leadership killed what little chance the UN had. It is totally worthless and without credibility,ei: Lebanon, and all of Africa, Iranand North Korea, its just a sham organization treading water and going no where.

Annan summed up five principles that he considers essential: collective responsibility, global solidarity, rule of law, mutual accountability and multilateralism.

And all this worked so well in Rwanda and now Sudan.

This country is too broke thanks to Bush to appease the dopes at the U.N.

Go knock on other doors Kofi and be thankful we are too broke to cause any more damage in the world.

Those stinkin communist America hating liberals are always condeming until the walls around their worlds are crumbling then it's, help us, we are behind you 100%...blah...blah. Then you get a few civilian casualties and it's, we hate you, you're evil, down with the military, Impeachment...blah...blah. All I have to say is good luck with Congress, good luck with the HOR, good luck with the UN, cause you'll never see a Democrat control the White House, Congress or the HOR come 2008! God gives all conservatives a seat in heaven and all the rest are condemed to hell.

It may be hard for us to swallow, but the world view America as greater threat than any terrorist organization. When a powerful military machine is matched with a delusional government, what can be more dangerous? As this administration merrily marching down the aisle with neo-conservative fanatics to a New World Order, the wedding tune is eerily reminiscent to Germany of 1938.

Now this mighty couple is nailed down on a leash in a quagmire, the world breathes a sigh of relief. America can only bark, but no longer bite. I suppose it is a good thing.

It is NOT just Bush is in a state of denial, but the entire nation is. We admit we have a problem, that is our bottom line, but we refuse to see we ARE the problem.

Ironically, the %u201CWar on Terror%u201D is a great success, any American with conscience watching what is happening in Iraq should agree, yes, we are the terror.

Annan did the best job possible considering what he was up against: The Bush Administration.

We are our own worst enemy when we meddle in the domestic affairs of other nations. All U.S. presidents from Eisenhower to Bush 43 have used CIA covert activities to overthrow the governments of less-powerful nations. Some were dictators, but many were democratic. Most of the "leaders" we installed turned out to be much worse than the ones we threw out.

We are responsible for putting many terrorists in power: The Shah of Iran, and Pinochet in Chile, Saddam, and even bin Laden. The list is too long to recite here. Nice "friends" we have.

It's no surprise that we are hated around the world. Bush made sure of that.

The European people's UN is in actuality run by the so-called 'big powers'.

The Secretary General of the UN is merely a figure head.

And the UN cannot act meaningfully unless the 'big powers' wish to act.
Just look at the 'big power' paralysis over Darfur's genocide.

No UN Secretary General can make the 'big powers' do the right thing if they are bent on doing the wrong thing.

The very dignified and virtuous Anan has mostly words; but it is good to use them wisely if that's all one has.

The US has under the present administration has trashed the UN, especially with the lies and deceptions presented to the world to excuse the evil invasion of Iraq and the slaughter of so many humans beings.


Instead of bristling/worrying about the mere words of wisdom of Anan, alert Americans should be more concerned about the lies and deceptions, which led to so many wasted American lives and limbs in Iraq, that are going un-impeached!

One thing is for sure, they don't like anything about the USA but our money. Without our money they would be up the creek without a paddle. I don't agree with Dubya's policies either but what about the genocide going on in Africa?

Let's put Bolton there and LET HIM STICK to the rules and regultions of the United Nations. America will hate him afterthen.

This is an organism that is meant to be favourable and equal in treatment to ALL nations. Of course right-wingers, neo-cons and GOPs will always argue that he's not doing enough for the USA and crucify him at the first opportunity, for being too good to others nations.
