In Aramaic (the language of the Talmud) each word of his name has a meaning Kofi - monkey Anan - I am or we are depending on context. It is hard to take seriously somone named <i>I am a monkey</i>.

How can anyone listen to Kofi's comments, read about Oil-for-Food or try to follow the exploits of "peace keepers" and still offer any support to the UN. Kofi is not an exception. He truly represents the dictators' club that runs the place. I have asked many times and I will again. Please give me one example of a UN accomplishment. Try not to use WHO which has done nothing that could not have been done better by the health ministry of any civilized country, refugee services which seems to be a combination of bribery, corruption and "entertainment" for the UN personel there or disaster relief which is best illustrated by the UN's meetings in five star hotels during the tsunami aftermath while bitching about US stingyness as the US had a real effort underway to help victims on the ground. The UN is the final pipedream of the depression era one-worlders. It has never accomplished anything positive. It has, for over sixty years, served as a transfer agency for US money to thugs. It has done nothing to keep the peace. It has done nothing to promote human dignity or liberty. It has prevented conditions that would start the process that would lead to Israel having secure borders without a ready made terrorist threat from the misery of the "refugee camps".

That strike by the IDF killed innocent bystanders including children - those are the people whose relatives he was sending condolences to.
