Mugabe, Annan & Mubarak. They Should Go.
Mugabe, Annan & Mubarak. It is time for each of them to go.
Mugabe. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice fittingly describes Zimbabwe under his rule as an "outpost of tyranny". Not surprisingly, the editors of the L.A. Times think Mugabe, this "hero", merely needs a word in his ear from South African president Thabo Mbeki, "urg[ing] him to shape up". They think Mugabe should "take pride in his status as the country's liberator and avoid being remembered as yet another ruler who stayed too long and descended from hero to tyrant." Long since too late for that.
Annan. He presided over bribes, kickbacks, oil smuggling, billions of dollars going to bad guys (not to mention the French), that dirty weasel of a son, and now we hear Volcker's report says that Kofi's toady shredded "three years of office files covering the period when the program was in place". Don't forget about U.N. personnel sexually exploiting and raping women in Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Kosovo and Bosnia. Not to mention the joke which was made of the Human Rights Commission by allowing vicious tyrants onto the panel. The Europeans still support Annan and, sadly, so does the Bush administration at this time. When asked if he would step down, Annan replied, "Hell, no." Should a Secretary-General with this much stink on him step down rather than preside over the U.N. during its time of reform? Hell, yes.
Mubarak. For this thug, who took Sadat's assassination in 1981 as an opportunity to implement a never ending marshal law and whose people are now braving his brutality to protest him, I have only one word, a word which is sweeping Egypt, "kefaya" (Arabic for "enough").
