Syria and Goofy Annan

Goofy Annan should have thought a million times, before taking up the assignment of special UN envoy for Syria.

Having seen that Assad was already insensitive to the Arab League, and the UN and the security council. How did then Goofy believe that his presence is going to change anything in Syria.

He comes up with a six point peace plan , which then results in a massacre of more then 100 in Houla and again today another 100+ in Hama Province. Not to mention that rebels have equally been brutal in killing the Assad loyalist.

Dear Goofy, at your age, it is better to play Golf or retire and give speeches. To be a conflict resolution specialist, one needs very special power and very special skills.

As soon as the plan fails, one has to immediately call on security council to move naval and air forces close to Syria and give Syrian forces a small trailer and give Assad again a chance to exit. Now the plan has killed more people then brought about Peace.

Further, Charles Taylor case should have been well highlighted by Goofy across the media to sent clear message to Assad, that he might end up in a prision cell for rest of his life. He still has a choice to take his wealth and flee or face consequences.

Libya`s case is still ripe in the minds of people. Only that now the world knows that NATO is too scared to manage Syria and was too fast to move into Libya.

Hillary routinely cries foul on Syria, but has no action plan to stop the situation. Russia and China as usual always stand by the losing side, till they see that the game is almost over and they may not have any influence in the new country, if they would not now support the revolution.

UN should learn a lesson out of this. When diplomacy and talks fail, it has to create a mechanism, where global opinion has to be respected. Which means, it should come out with extra powers for the International court of justice and the prosecutors office. And those countries, which do not carry out the arrest warrant for defaulters are immediately sacked out of UN.

Alternately, it has to do some marketing and create a Super club, which identifies members , which are constitutionally well governed and have human rights record. etc etc.

Similarly more clubs, which have poor human rights records and club of corrupt nations etc etc.

If UN wants to be a relevant organization, it has to empower itself, rather then be a leisure lounge for nations.

Meantime, Goofy should be withdrawn from Syria and good Russian and Chinese envoys should be made jointly responsible for peace talks . Let us give a chance to the Red Flags to show the world their worth.
