I am Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations. We at the United Nations greet you! We are the Messengers Of Peace! I would like to take a moment of your time to clear up some misconceptions you may harbor about the United Nations. Our goals are simple, yet quite complex. They consist of: Peace and Security Economic and Social Developement Human Rights Humanitarian Affairs International Law How citizens of the United States see these goals as a threat to their way of life, or to their existence, I do not understand. My advisors tell me that there is some concern over one of our upcoming conferences. The United Nations Conference On Illicit Trade In Small Arms And Light Weapons In All It's Aspects, scheduled for July 9 - 20 in New York City, is only a reasonable response to the out of control arms commerce throughout the world. Millions of children have been killed in conflicts around the world where these weapons of mass destruction have been utilized. Millions more have been made homeless and /or parentless in these same conflicts. And, sadly, thousands have been forced to fight as child warriors. We seek only to put a stop to the private ownership and use of these instruments of death. We are doing it for the children. Please visit our website for more information or to leave your comments. Thank you for your time. Kofi Annan Secretary General of the United Nations |

Quoted: where did you learn to speak you dont say thank you after every sentence it takes the meaning out of it. Please excuse my English. I am from Ghana. When we succesfully bring about world peace and unity, I hope to establish Esperanto as the world language. Thank you. |

ok so theres the proff I needed I doubt that on the language German or english because of all the languges a lot of people speak them already Esperanto is not that well known...so this is not the real UN get off the jokes mine are bad but at least theirs no mistake about the fiction in them. P.S. if You are smart enough to be in the U.N. you know what F@#$%ng is. |

Quoted: Can you say, [b]"S A R C A S M?"[/b] Boy! Some guys just can't take a joke! [b]Sic Semper Tyrannus![/b] Semper Fi! Ken Little I fail to find the sarcasm, or the joke in the topic of world disarmament. This is a very serious concern. We at the United Nations only wish to make the world a safer place to coexist with your fellow man. Thank you. |

However, I prefer to think of the world as one nation united in a common goal of world peace and harmony. It seems though that the United States is quite stubborn in its' resistance to this agenda. Why is this? Do you not want a safer world? It is, after all, for the children. |

Dear Kofi, The millions of children you speak of have been killed by corrupt governments and hoodlums. These governments were able to exist because the populations were disarmed and unable to protect themselves. You scheme for civilian disarmament will only lead to the deaths of more children. One of the most fundamental rights is the right of self protection. If you are concerned about human rights, you will ensure that all people of the world are armed and able to defend themselves. Sincerely, -mejames |

Mr. Annan, The only ones resistant to the global peace and harmony are the civilians (they don't know any better because they haven't served your humanitarian organization) and the few self-serving members of the armed forces. You can rest assured that the U.S. military supports your vision 100%. |

Sincerely, -mejames Sir, I am sorry to say that you are severely deluded and need to seek medical attention. Thinking such as yours is a sign of mental imbalance. I fear for you and your loved ones, friends and neighbors. The proliferation of small arms throughout the world is pandemic and must be eradicated as expeditiously as possible! By any means necessary! Thank you. |

Individuals such as yourself will find assimilation quite easy and comfortable. We will need co-operative individuals at all levels of government and bureaucracy. One World! Thank you. |
