For any changes at the UN to have any credibility, Kofi's resignation AND replacement with an untainted individual must be at the top of the agenda.

Don't forget his son Kojo and his scandals as well.
Kofi will only say or do as much as he needs to 'do' to appear to be doing 'something' without really doing anything.

Kofi, his son and the rest of the U.N. imbeciles -- are all alike... Thieves caught with chickens under their coat --- claiming they don't know how they got there...but want another chance to steal without being caught...

The U.N. as it was meant to be -- is dead...
You can NOT give Turd World thugs respectablity they haven't earned....
All cultures and people are NOT equal...

Semper Fi

The first change should be to change Annan.

Why can't some of Annans "friends" do something right and just blow up that monstrosity sitting in NY?

Sweeping changes should provide more than enough ground cover for Koffi to continue stealing money from the world. Anybody falling for his crocodile tears is a fool. Koffi needs to go to the World Jail.

The only 'sweeping' change of any real consequence would be to broom that lot of tin-horn socialist rats right out the country.

I'll believe it when Annan and the UN agree to OUTSIDE AUDITS of the UN's books.

Annan Proposes Sweeping Changes to U.N.

Well, I propose we sweep that crook out of the U.N. at the same time we sweep the U.N. out the United States as we sweep ourselves out of the U.N. That is what I consider a sweeping change.

Isn't this U.N. under Annan trying to put U.S. military troops under the rule of the international court?

How about the U.N. troops raping weman and children in Africa? Shoudn't these troops face serious punishment?

How about all the theft of monies meant for humanitarian purposes that have been stolen by U.N. folks? Shuldn't they be incarcerated for these actions?

HOw about Mr. Annan himself? Shouldn't he be incarcerated for graft, corruption, theft, and helping so many jdictators around the world?

Yes, he is trying to put our troops under UN control. Our President has already said he will answer to no one when it comes to the defense of our country.

The UN is permeated from top to bottom with corruption, nepotism and hypocrisy. The best thing is that could happen for the US is to leave that worthless organization and kick them out of this country. Let them set up shop in the Hague.
