Kofi Annan is getting on my last nerve. He wants us to go all unilateral on AIDS and turn our pockets inside-out while we're at it:
The United States must lead the fight against AIDS with the same commitment it shows in the battle against terrorism, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Tuesday.
"We hear a lot about weapons of mass destruction. We hear a lot about terrorism, and we are worried about weapons of mass destruction because of their potential to kill thousands of people," Annan said in an interview with the BBC.
"Here we have an epidemic that is killing millions. What is the response?" Annan said. "We really do need leadership. America has the natural leadership capacity because of its resources, because of its size."
Shouldn't the UN handle it, Kofi? We're giving $15 billion already. Maybe we want to spend the rest of our money on cat toys and new lawn furniture. And those dumbass activists cursing us really make us want to pony up the cash. Nobody likes an abusive beggar.
