Kofi Annan says we must get out of Iraq quickly:

Kofi Annan, secretary general of the United Nations, has called for a rapid end to the military occupation of Iraq, DPA reports.

At the beginning of a debate initiated on July 22 in the UN Security Council, Annan stated that the right of the Iraqi people to decide their own future must be respected.

For its part, France supported the rapid reestablishment of Iraqi sovereignty and affirmed that it is incumbent on the international community to help the Iraqis to once more become the owners of their destiny and resources, PL cites.

Kofi, I think your concern should be Liberia at this point. And of course, Jesse says our policy toward a war we have no stake in is US racism.

Jesse Jackson said Wednesday the Bush administration's reluctance to deploy troops to strife-torn Liberia proves that race remains "a significant factor" in the way America relates to the world.

"We are turning our backs on Liberia," the civil rights leader said in an interview, noting that hundreds have died there in the last few days.

Jesse is about as much of a civil rights leader as I am. Hey Rev. go shake down some loser company and stay out of it.
