Well, not to power, really, but to ineffectual irrelevencies. The Iraqi Foreign Minister asked the U.N., in so many words, what the hell are you doing here? Here's what he said:
Settling scores with the United States-led coalition should not be at the cost of helping to bring stability to the Iraqi people.Now that the people most directly effected by the worthless cowardice and terrorist appeasers of the U.N., Kofi Annan is not in the mood for anyone to "pin blame and point fingers." Of course not. Reality is a tough nut to swallow.
Squabbling over political differences takes a back seat to the daily struggle for security, jobs, basic freedoms and all the rights the U.N. is chartered to uphold.
One year ago, the Security Council was divided between those who wanted to appease Saddam Hussein and those who wanted to hold him accountable.
The United Nations as an organization failed to help rescue the Iraqi people from a murderous tyranny that lasted over 35 years, and today we are unearthing thousands of victims in horrifying testament to that failure.
The U.N. must not fail the Iraqi people again.
