The United Nations has sent Kofi Annan to Syria as their special peace envoy.
So I guess the Syrians are really in trouble.
Up to now they were just being cut to pieces with machine guns and tanks and helicopter gunshops in their own homes, in the fields, and in the streets.
Now they're being cut to pieces with machine guns, and tanks, and helicopter gunships, in their own homes, in the fields, and in the streets, while at the same time being urged by the UN's most pious most venal hypocrite, to lay aside their differences and come to the negotiating table with the dictator who is slaughtering them.
Incredibly Kofi Annan has retained influence in the UN despite no longer holding office as Secretary General and despite the invidious corruption that emerged in his family circle.
The fact that his son Kojo was taking kick backs (ie vast wodges of cash) from Saddam Hussein's murderocracy has proved no impediment to the continued influence peddling of the Anan family.
Kofi's greatest achievement so far came with his peace brokering in Zimbabwe.
Single handedly he ensured that Robert Mugabe's attempts to keep Zimbabwe in communist slavery and perdition, would succeed.
The rightful president Morgan Tsvangirai has been marginalised.
The millions of people who have fled Zimbabwe remain in abject poverty over the border in South Africa.
Zimbabwe itself teeters towards starvation as Mugabe insists on perpetuating the same Soviet era Marxian police State command economy that the Russians figured out was a load of old cobblers twenty years ago.
The ongoing facilitation of the Marxian debasement, enslavement and impoverishment of Zimbabwe, which should be the most prosperous country in Africa, remains Kofi Annan's greatest achievement.
And the UN has sent him to Syria.
Before setting out, Kofi Annan, his voice dripping with sarcasm, told journalists: "We don't want to create a situation in Syria where the medicine is worse than the cure. You don't have to look too far in the region to see what I mean."
The CNN reporter covering his speech told viewers she thought he meant Libya.
A Syrian opposition spokesman, whose people are being slaughtered with machine guns, tanks and helicopter gunships, said he thought Kofi Annan meant Iraq.
Either way, the comments say more about Kofi Anan's bigoted sympathy for murdering dictators than it does about the democratic aspirations of the risen people's in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.
I mention Afghanistan because I only recently discovered that a quarter of its parliamentiarians are women.
Unthinkable before the Bushwhacker and the Brits gave that country its shot at freedom.
I like to dwell occasionally on some of the news items from the liberated Islamic majority countries which you won't hear on CNN or Sky News, or even in The Times of London, which having spent a decade trying to derail the war on terror, has suddenly converted to the principles of Western Interventionism lock, stock and two smoking tank barrerls, after one of its own showboating journos got vapourised by the Assads in Syria.
But folks.
My point is this.
Sending Kofi Annan to Syria is an awful mockery of those people who are being murdered in the streets.
Just as bad in its way, as the earlier decision by the Arab League to send a delegation to the same country headed by a mass murdering Sudanese army general.
It all looks just a tad apocalyptic, doesn't it.
And when you see Kofi Annan sneering about American interventions in Arab countries, when you see the elegant verbal diarrhoea, with which he seeks to douse the aspirations to freedom and Western partnership which are the hallmarks of the Syrian, Libyan, Afghan and Iraqi people's nascent democracies, when you see Kofi Anan's assured elan in defence of those mass murderers who wish to keep those countries locked in an Islamist hell, then you must know...
Satan is laughing.
