Iraq war illegal, says Annan
The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.
BBC – 16 September 2004

--\O//--
The UN may not be perfect
Do I hear a group groan?
But they’re the best we have
But the U.S. can only moan
So much carping criticism
A bystander who doesn’t care
truly about the rest of the world
Or what is really fair
Now Kofi Annan
Says the Iraq attack WAS illegal
Bush has defamed America
Sullied her noble eagle
He pushed self-interest
Greedy and obsessed
All self-agrandizement
Like some state terrorist
And so America now knows
What the rest of the world has known
That an illegal act by Bush
Out of LIES has grown
