Support Kofi Annan
For those of us aware of world history/dynamics and events of the last few years, what the Americans and their mostly Anglo-Saxon allies are doing in Iraq is a throw back to times where the worst of human greed & selfishness were satisfied through a combination of the following:
- the bestial killing and subjugation of others to rob them of their wealth under various pretences as was common throughout history and exemplified by the last 500 years of colonial history. (Try guessing how many Iraqis had been killed by them this time around)
- the refusal to share and fomenting of conflicts among others while supplying/financing arms and keeping themselves a safe distance away with the aim of draining others of their wealth and resources before they can challenge their supremacy as exemplified by the 2 'world wars'.
The utter exhaustion of all the other nations while they remain relatively unscathed is what created the 'single super-power' world order they brag about today and which many present day fools believe is due to the greatness of their democratic or capitalist systems. We can also witness similar workings today in the Korean peninsula, the Middle East, China/Taiwan, central Europe and around the world.
As we all know, there is no great power today that can openly challenge their actions in Iraq. The world has few men with the combination of historical/global perspective and moral authority to call upon to bring some semblance of pressure to bear on these supremely greedy, arrogant and armed people.
Kofi Annan is perhaps the only one who can truly speak for the conscience of the entire world by virtue of his elected position as head of the United Nations which was indeed what he did. For that reason, political machines in the United States are undertaking a concerted effort to discredit Kofi Annan, among others, blaming him for complicity in abusing the UN administered Iraqi Oil-for-Food program. Aware of this campaign to erode Kofi Annan's moral authority, many nations and important people around the world had openly expressed their support for Kofi Annan.
Recent expressions of such support came from 2,700 UN staff and 70 Nobel Laureates. These people are telling us that the world should stand up for its lone moral voice. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/4214401.stm)
So please forward this plea for like-minded people around the world to do the same by sending their e-mails supporting Kofi Annan to the United Nations at pubboard@un.org or add their support to this blog http://supportkofiannan.blogspot.com/
Historical notes:
1. Years before the start of World War I, a British politician by the name of Balfour was recorded to have suggested to an American official that their countries should start a war with Germany before it overtakes their countries for no reason other than 'to maintain their standard of living'!
During WWI, this same man was responsible for the so-called 'Balfour Declaration' that carved a piece of the Ottoman empire, which was fighting on the side of Germany, for the creation of the state of Israel and the plight of the Palestinians today.
2. 50 million lives perished in the 2 World Wars (this is the real holocaust) but Anglo-Saxon casualty was less than 1 million.
3. During World War II, Britain and the US stayed out of the main battlegrounds of Europe through most of the war by which time the Germans and East Europeans had already been exhausted by more than 30 million casualties. Only after that did the American & British 'heroes' went in to pick up the pieces.
4. By the time America 'saved' Asia from Japan on the cheap by way of the atomic bomb, China mostly and other Asian countries had lost well in excess of 10 million lives.
In WWI, Japan fought on the side of the 'Allies' but switched sides in WWII because the 'Allies' refused to give it what it wanted in Asia. So to ensure sufficient reward for Japan for joining its 'Cold War club', America accorded it favourable surrender terms that gave Japan the gall till today to refuse to apologize for any of its actions in Asia including indiscrimate massacres like that in Nanking where in excess of a quarter million Chinese were cold bloodedly slaughtered in 6 weeks. Today, Japan wants to sit in the UN Security Council as permanent member.
