Kofi Annan has to be remembered as one of the most inept UNSGs of all time. I recently heard a Latin American head of state declare that it remains a mystery in LA as to why the presidents of the IMF and the WB always come from Europe and the US. Duh, they foot the bill. The real question is why does the Sec. Gen. of the UN always come from perpetually underdeveloped countries? (I know the alleged reasons, but I found this ironic).
