Let's remember who voted him in office ...
Quote:The first Secretary-General to be elected from the ranks of United Nations staff, he began his first term on 1 January 1997. On 29 June 2001, acting on a recommendation by the Security Council, the General Assembly appointed him by acclamation to a second term of office, beginning on 1 January 2002 and ending on 31 December 2006.
Quote:The Council is composed of five permanent members ?- China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States ?- and ten non-permament members
Does the fact of who voted him in make him any less culpable for crimes committed under his watch? Including his son?
Careful - this knife can cut both ways; Bush, for example...

I know you're trying to make a point, but i can't for the life of me see what Bush has done or not done having anything to do with Annan, maybe you could enlighten me?
