That Kofi Annan. He issued an extensive statement of condemnation of the assassination attempt on May Shidyaq. I mean I condemn it too of course, but that Annan: Palestinians are being shot every day by Israeli occupation soldiers and I never hear a word from him. Do you notice that he only feigns outrage when that outrage coincides with US foreign policy adventures? I know that he is not allowed to be human or black or African in his job--those who installed him would not allow that--but does he issue statements of condemnation when people in Africa are killed? If there is an International Award for Shameful Behavior, he would be the top recipient.
