While United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was patently ignoring a President Robert Mugabe oppressed Zimbabwe, his son, Kojo was making money building the Zimbabwean capitol’s airport.
They are the Vito and Michael Corleones of the international community. And Kofi is the head of the most significant international body. The UN has been a breeding ground for crooks and Marxists, which is why the Annans fit in so well. I know that many of these allegations have yet to be proved, but the sheer preponderance of allegations is damning. Kofi has been Martha Steward-ish concerning the Oil-for-Food investigations. Happily, it seems as though the Volker Commission is doing a mediocre job of exposing the corruption of the UN. I am one American that wants the Annans, Kofi in particular, to come clean and engage in full disclosure. I know Kofi is not Kojo, and Kofi cannot be held accountable for everything Kojo does. But Kofi holds such a prominent position he has the duty to either defend exhaustively his son, or repudiate his actions. Failing to do so reflects very poorly on him, especially when there is so much scandal surrounding his Secretariat.
Out with the Annans.
