UN Secretary-General in Beijing to Discuss Human Rights, Iraq

Secretary-General Kofi Annan is in China, where he is holding discussions on issues including China's participation in a meeting on Iraqi security next month.

China expects to participate in the international conference on Iraq, scheduled in Egypt next month.

China was among the leading opponents of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq last year.

Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said Beijing believes the meeting is necessary to bring peace to the country. He said violence in Iraq after the U.S.-led invasion "threatens world peace."

Mr. Annan said his discussion with the Chinese also touched on other subjects, including the situations in Sudan and in Afghanistan.

"A lot of us have known for some time there was something wrong in the world but it was difficult to pin down and put our fingers on. It was something that has no face and no name. Like fog it swirled all around us but not being corporeal we lashed out in all directions, landing blows on nothing. It was like an itch we could never scratch." We used to call these people "the left," and still do I suppose, but many of those pushing this apparently "left-wing" agenda seem to be high-level statesmen, the wealthy and the heads of multibillion-dollar corporations"- David Carr (.pdf - 60 sec. download )

China is ready to "come out" - Just what the world needed

But since most everything they were doing was ignored - I suspect challenging times are ahead


just a thought -

Just another reflection of the pandering of Annan in his ongoing game with the U.N. -- yes, Communist Chinese peace keepers...kinda like Joseph Stalin heading up peace operations in Russia......

The U.N. has degenerated into a swamp of the world's worst criminals...with the PRC near the list top -- of course they were against invading Iraq...a good friend and like the type of nations they like...of little threat to them. Why do you think the PRC does not like us??? -- because we are their biggest threat to world domination....

Bill Frist is my Senator. I am sending him an email suggesting that Senate Bill number one in the next Congress be to "dis-invite" the United Nations from the United States as the hosting country. I will suggest that they move their headquarters to, oh, Beijing, or maybe Damascus, or even Jenin. Let's see how much they squeal.
