Kofi Annan: Man of the Hour (3/2008)

I really hate to write this article, first of all, I’ve written a hundred articles on this guy in the past several years, and all negative, in the sense I could never find anything good to say about him, because he had done nothing worth saying that was good, a world leader that God only knows how he got to the top of the ladder in the UN.. He lived in my home state for a while and went to one of our local colleges, and then onto the United Nations to make his fame and millions at the expense of others. Well, he has done one good thing in his life, former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, he went to Kenya to put together a peace between the warring sides, humbled himself for once in his life, did not get arrogant for once in his life, and when he saw they did not want peace he said exactly what I would have: if you do not want to work on it, there is nothing I can do for you. And now they have decided to try and put a peace solution together. Perhaps this will atone for all his prior sins, which are countless I would say, but God is a forgiving God, thank god. So I bow to your endeavors Mr. Annan, and am happy you may have done humanity one once of good, after so much garbage you threw our way.

On the same line of thinking, it always makes me think, why people get into positions where they can help people, with the power given them, and they do just the opposite, as if God cannot see their dirty deeds. Is it not enough to make people happy, and get paid for it nowadays, they want them to bow and beg? We live in a world that people are begging to do mankind a service, and once elected become, or try to become little Gods. Annan tried this, as we see in South America many of the presidents of those countries do the same. Happiness is always collective, cooperative, because it is a byproduct, you do something for someone, and you get the happiness. Evidently, this is no longer good enough.
