Talk about gall. UN kleptocrat Kofi Anan journeyed to Missou to use the Truman Library for his last speech, digging at President Bush for various awful things, such as freeing 50-odd million people from tyranny, as Anan, a greater friend to dictators than even Jimmy Carter, handed in his resignation and left the building the US hosts and pays for. Truman must be rolling over in his grave.
But, then, Kofi has never lacked for irony. As another parting gesture, he inaugurated the UN Human Rights Council in June. And what has it done? Condemn genocide in Darfur? Seek to ameliorate the oppression of women in (pick one) any Arab country? Nah. It spends all of its energy attacking Israel. Go home, Kofi, and stay there.
UPDATE Better late than never, he finally mentioned the situation in Darfur in another of his "last" speeches. Muslim women, however, are still off his radar screen.
