"One year ago, the Security Council was divided between those who wanted to appease Saddam Hussein and those who wanted to hold him accountable," Zebari told the 15-nation council, which was sharply divided over the war.With this coming from a now free Iraqi, you would think that Kofi Annan would apologize to the Iraqi people and propose to correct the problem to ensure such a thing never happens again. Wrong:
"The UN as an organization failed to help rescue the Iraqi people from a murderous tyranny of 35 years," he said. "The UN must not fail the Iraqi people again."
Annan, who publicly opposed the US decision to launch the war after failing to win the support of the Security Council, said it was "no time to pin blame and point fingers" over the past.What does he mean by 'done as much as it can'? The U.N. ran out of Iraq in October. The U.N. has done nothing for the Iraqi people before or after the war.
"I think the UN has done as much as it can for Iraq," Annan told reporters. "So quite honestly I don't think today is the time to hurl accusations."
The bloody wretches.
And according to the French ambassador to the U.N.:
"The fact that the war was won doesn't make legitimate something that was not legitimate," France's UN ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sabliere said after the council meeting. "But this is the past."Lesson to the people of the world; if you're suffering from an oppressive ruler who kills and tortures your people... don't go to the U.N. for help.
