Kofi is an ASS, but I feel terrible for the family of the dead UN guys, Assuming they were decent people who were just doing their jobs. They probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. Since the Hezzies are known to use UN positions as cover, my guess is that the strike was probably an errant bomb that was meant for a nearby Hezzie site.

People here read too much into things, both ways. Now IF those UN people were really helping the Hezzies, well then, F*ck them. On the other hand, I am sure alot of good, decent people go to work for the UN for the best intentions. Its kinda sick how some here react so gleefully to the deaths so quickly.

Thank you. I agree. I heard last night that it could have been an accident. These are laser-guided that are directed from the ground. Soldiers on the ground are focusing their lasers on a single building in areas where there are a lot of buildings. Mistakes would not be difficult. The amazing thing is how few of them they make. I think Kofi must have struck out in guilt knowing the help the UN is probably giving Hezbollah.

Yes. According to the BBC web site today, the observers were from China, Austria, Canada and Finland.These people were somebody's kid, boyfriend,someone's Dad or cousin out there. Any one of them could have been an American - we've got people "observing" for the UN as well. I agree, Annan's well-documented policy of allowing UN observers to be used as human shields in conflicts around the globe should be the sole focus of our outrage. He is the one with the blood of those dead observers on his hands.The man isn't just a buffoon, he's a murderous one.
