He totally got that from Spider-Man.
He believed strongly that henceforth security must be collective and indivisible. That was why, for instance, that he insisted when faced with aggression by North Korea against the South in 1950, on bringing the issue to the United Nations, Annan said.
Well dipsh*t, the fact is that the UN was involved because mother Russia was boycotting the UN.
Certainly, any motion bough before the Security council at that time - (without the Soviets, remember them?) would be passed, especially during the cold war era.
Or, is it perhaps, that Annan does not even know this?
How dare he! Annan has represented nothing but corruption and neglect. In he brief time span Bush has freed millions of people while Annan did nothing. Shameful!
How is it that, of all the nations in the World, only the U.S. is suitable for scolding?
Someone should scold him for being a crook and having a crook for a son. He needs to escorted off US soil asap. I am sick of the UN too. I don't see what good they do for anyone.
Dear Kofi,
We do not need to be hectored by a corrupt scumbag jackal who presided over the continued demise of the United Nations and the acquiescence in (and often encouragement of) every manner of human depravity all over the globe.
Speaking of the Security Council, it is France, Russia, and China that pursue "national interests" overwhelmingly in the UNSC, as they block all meaningful reforms and all international actions that could impinge upon their own corruption and depravity.
If you were actually interested in morality, reform, and humanitarian accomplishments, Kofi, you would be hectoring those nations and the many smaller version of them, and not the greatest nation on earth that is worth more in one American child's toenail than you will ever be worth in your entire, corrupt, dishonest, miserable existence.
Thank you,
America
Hey Koofee! Get bent, sideways with a rusty crowbar!
(And watch your back - your enemies are many.)
The U.N. has never had a more corrupt "leader"...He should have been ousted and jailed years ago. Instead, he scolds the host country and a world leader who at least has tried to solve problems that he himself simply turned his back on, or was even involved in creating.
Hey goofy, that sentence is why we have terrorism in the world. STFU and don't ever set foot on US soil again. This is one person I despise more than any of the clintons. I'm surprised he didn't use multiculturalism in that sentence as well.
Goofi needs to go back to tending his goats. He was in way over his head at the U.N.
Kofi should be speaking from his prison cell.
"He said in the text that the U.S. has a special responsibility to the world because it continues to have extraordinary power."
Right and that being the case the US expects to get compensation for such "special responsibility" and when when get screwed by a bunch of nations of thugs we administer the consequences of such actions as a part of our "special responsibility".
I wondered what all that was about. With CNN being the only English channel available in my hotel, I had to sit through this entire speech whilst trying to eat my dinner.
STFU and get out, you pinko thief.
Note to Kofi: Nobody in the USA expected the USA to be the only superpower. It's just too bad if the other wannabee superpowers couldn't get their superpower act together. However, since the USA has gone into debt $15 trillion, which is $1000 a year since the Big Bang, it would help if the wannabee superpowers could help pay this off and acquire some debt themselves since massive debt appears to be the secret of superpowerness.

Hyde Comments on Annan Farewell Speech
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In response to comments made today by outgoing
Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde
(R-IL), Chairman of the House Committee on International Relations, issued
the following remarks:
Unsaid by Mr. Annan was any acknowledgement about the
rampant financial and moral mismanagement at the United Nations and the
near-absence of standards of decency for the thuggish regimes that are too
often empowered by its antiquated rules and procedures. The failure by Mr.
Annan to accept any responsibility for a decade of UN scandals and, instead,
to engage in a classic case of misdirection aimed at the United States, is
both understandable and completely predictable. The failure to acknowledge
the systemic management woes will accelerate that day when new ideas and new
players fill the moral void left in the wake of two decades of UN corruption
and misrule.

UN admits Rwanda genocide failure
The United Nations Security Council has explicitly accepted responsibility for failing to prevent the 1994 genocide in Rwanda in which an estimated 800,000 people were killed. In the first formal response to a report critical of the UN's role, council members acknowledged its main finding that their governments lacked the political will to stop the massacres. Most of the 2,500 UN peacekeepers in Rwanda at the time were withdrawn after the deaths of 10 Belgian soldiers
