Crawl back into your hole you nasty little dhimmi troll.....
UNITED NATIONS — Kofi Annan, who spent the last years of his decade-long tenure as U.N. secretary-general clashing with members of the Bush administration, says he hopes a widely held perception that his successor, Secretary-General Ban, is "too close" to America is nothing but a "passing phase."
Mr. Annan, who became secretary-general in 1997 with strong backing from the Clinton administration but ran afoul of Washington when he criticized the war in Iraq as "illegal," was in New York City yesterday to receive an international justice award from the MacArthur Foundation. In a wide-ranging discussion with U.N. reporters, he opined on world affairs in a style that fans and detractors alike once likened to that of a "secular pope."
Mr. Ban's critics say his closeness to America is harmful for the world body. "The U.N. flag is no more a protection, but rather a target because of its failure to preserve impartiality in different conflicts in the world," a former aide to Mr. Annan, Lakhdar Brahimi, whom Mr. Ban appointed to investigate a bombing at the U.N. headquarters in Algiers, told Algerian reporters this week.
