"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Another Big Loser

Koffi Annan made a huge mistake in supporting John Kerry. Detroit News' Thomas Bray has some thoughts on the matter:

"In a transparent attempt to lend weight to John Kerry campaign's criticism of Bush administration policies in Iraq, the United Nations' secretary-general denounced the war several weeks before the election as "illegal." It was a direct slap to an incumbent president -- and all the more outrageous because no such judgment was pronounced on Bill Clinton's war in Kosovo, which also lacked UN sanction.

Given the fact that Annan is now presiding over a monumental scandal involving the UN's oil-for-food program in Iraq, he's poorly positioned to prate about legality."

Koffi Annan is the archtypal, venal, grasping, crooked bureaucrat--that there is no authority that can pierce the UN veil to get to this little criminal is testament to the danger of the out-of-control monstrosity that is the UN. That our tax dollars pay his salary is revolting.
