Here's a snip from today so far...

"Secretary-General Says UN May Need Radical Reforms
23 September -- In a statement to the General Assembly, Secretary-General Kofi Annan noted the challenges the United Nations has faced over the past year and said, "We have come to a fork in the road. This may be a moment no less decisive than 1945 itself, when the United Nations was founded." He said we must now decide whether it is possible to continue on the basis agreed when the United Nations was first set up, or whether radical changes are needed, to deal with threats ranging from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction to the possibility that some States may act pre-emptively to respond to threats."

2. that seems telling:

>the possibility that some States may act pre-emptively to respond to threats."<

could be talking about the little old u.s. under the "leadership" of the unelected fraud?

5. A link and an observation

http://www.un.org/apps/sg/sgstats.asp

Kofi Annan is an exceptional diplomat and leader who is right about two things:

1) The doctrine of preemption represents a major challenge to foundations of diplomacy and world order, and,

2) The United Nations urgently needs to reevaluate its structure, its mission and its strategies.
