Let's see. What happens when a completely moronic imbecile interviews an incompetent unaccountable bureaucrat?
Utter nonsense, that's what!
Here is an interview by an illiterate Dutchman in Spiegel of arguably the most overpaid second-rater on the planet:
BEGIN QUOTE:Back in May we noted liberal baby boomers' tendency to see all contemporary events through the prism of Vietnam and Watergate, as if history began in 1968. The most striking example we've seen yet comes from the German magazine Der Spiegel, in an interview with Kofi Annan:
Spiegel: It seems that every US generation in recent history has had to go through the experience of losing a war.
Annan: Yes, and it is a bit sad to put it that way. One has to learn from history. Quite frankly, it is almost impossible to have a sense of vision without a sense of history. If history is learned, then it doesn't have to repeat itself over generations.
Blogger David Kaspar has some fun with the interviewer's ignorance (ellipsis in original):
Hmmm. OK, now let's see. Which generations have had to experience losing a war. The baby-boomers had to experience Vietnam. (Scratching head) OK. Now what other "US generation" had to experience losing a war? Did the US lose any other wars . . .? Are the reporters confusing the US with Germany? This is all so confusing.
We can think of a couple of major wars that previous generations of Americans won, 23 and 50 years before 1968. But then we suppose we understand why the Germans might want to forget about those.END QUOTE
And maybe half-wit Annan might want to forget about Rwanda, where he supervised a genocidal catastrophe which matched the German's in dead bodies per day if it did not actually exceed the dumb Dutch Guinness mark!
Imagine how fewer the body-count in Rwanda would have been had someone more competent than stone-slacker Kofi been in charge.
Kofi is making a second run at the Guinness record in Darfur, where this super-functionary has got off to a slow start with only a couple hundred thousand dead, but given the May UN Agreement with Sudan, Annan has a chance to eventually exceed his Rwanda personal-worst by quantity if not by rapidity!
