Kofi Annan must go.
A Last Shot at Credibility
NRO Original Article
There was once a political rule of thumb laying down that the king could do no evil; only the ministers advising him could. It was a most useful principle: Whenever something went wrong, a scapegoat would be found, saving the king from embarrassment. All very Shakespearean, but times have changed, and democratic leaders now accept responsibility for their failures, and failings. It's a different story at the U.N., of course, where Kofi Annan more resembles Richard II than Richard Nixon.
