Kofi Annan is leaving the hopelessly corrupt United Nations, and in his farewell
speech the dictators' best friend took a final slap at the US:

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in his farewell address, criticized the
http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Bush+administration%22&sid=breitbart.com,
warning that America must not sacrifice its Democratic ideals while waging war
against terrorism.
I
n remarks prepared for delivery Monday at the Truman Presidential Museum and
Library, Annan also said the
http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Security+Council%22&sid=breitbart.com should
be expanded.
"Human rights and the rule of law are vital to global security and prosperity,"
Annan's text said. When the U.S. "appears to abandon its own ideals and
objectives, its friends abroad are naturally troubled and confused," he said.
Annan, who leaves the
http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22United+Nations%22&sid=breitbart.com on Dec.
31 after 10 years as secretary-general, has become an increasingly vocal critic
of the war in Iraq.
He said in the text that the U.S. has a special responsibility to the world
because it
continues to have extraordinary power.
Annan summed up five principles that he considers essential: collective
responsibility, global solidarity, rule of law, mutual accountability and
multilateralism.
He chose the Truman museum for his final major speech in part because it is
dedicated to a president who was instrumental in the founding of the United
Nations. His text repeatedly praised the Truman administration but never
mentioned Bush by name.
"As President Truman said, 'The responsibility of the great states is to serve
and not dominate the peoples of the world,'" Annan said.
"He believed strongly that henceforth security must be collective and
indivisible. That was why, for instance, that he insisted when faced with
aggression by
http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22North+Korea%22&sid=breitbart.com against the
South in 1950, on bringing the issue to the United Nations," Annan said.
"Against such threats as these, no nation can make itself secure by seeking
supremacy over all others."
Annan also called for a reform of the Security Council, saying its membership
"still reflects the reality of 1945." He suggested adding new members to
represent parts of the world with less of a voice.
He said the permanent members, the world powers, "must accept the special
responsibility that comes with their privilege.'
"The Security Council is not just another stage on which to act out national
interests," he said in another jab at Bush.
Annan has a had a strained relationship with the administration and with
outgoing U.S. Ambassador John Bolton.
He was criticized by some in the administration and in Iraq after saying earlier
this month that the level of violence in Iraq is much worse than that of
Lebanon's civil war and that some Iraqis believe their lives were better under
http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Saddam+Hussein%22&sid=breitbart.com.
He also has urged the international community to help rebuild Iraq, saying he
was not sure Iraq could accomplish it alone.
Bolton also is leaving this month. He resigned in the wake of the November
elections, which gave Democrats control over the next Congress, making his
Senate confirmation unlikely.
After a private dinner Tuesday night at the White House for Annan, Bolton joked
that "nobody sang 'Kumbaya.'"
Told at the time of Bolton's comment, Annan laughed and asked: "But does he know
how to
