Silflaying the right
My comment that was barred (a software glitch for once, not a curtailment of the freedom of speech) from Silflay Hraka:
Why would I call Mr Annan a racist? He strikes me as a decent man. He is not indulging in screeching hypocrisy over Sudan but that does not make him a racist. The UN is not responsible for Darfur (in which all involved are "Africans", by the way -- perhaps you have become too fond of using the word as a euphemism for "black"). It cannot label it a genocide because its definition of genocide was heavily influenced by the American desire not to have *its* friends punished for their crimes. Still, "UN bad" is high on the list of the required neo-right dogmas that all Americans must subscribe to these days, so it's not surprising to read yet another of that number slamming Kofi Annan. He did rather cheekily suggest that the US illegally invaded a sovereign power, which it did when it could not gain the backing of the UN (you'd think we'd all forgotten the second resolution), and has been outspoken about the indiscriminate slaughter and chaos there, so doubtless he deserves the smears rightists bark like the dogs they are. Not sure what Boutros-Boutros did to you though.
