Kofi favors making nice-nice with the mullahs

Just as it wimped out on Iraq (seventeen times, in fact), it appears that the UN is wimping out on Iran- at least insofar as Secretary General Kofi Annan is any indication.

As in Rwanda, Kosovo, and just about every other major crisis in recent history where it might have made a difference.

Supposedly Kofi did facilitate a Israeli-Palestinian deal for the release of Gilad Shalit in exchange for Palestinian prisoners- a wonderful precedent whereby terrorists can be encouraged to kidnap innocent people so as to spring violent criminals from jail.
