Kofi Annan needs to resign immediately.  Not only Kofi Annan, but all those beneath Mr. Annan responsible for the Blue Line, and UN Forces.  The reason is that he and they are responsible for the deaths of their own UN soldiers due to incompetence & lack of leadership.  It is clear from the email sent by the Canadian UN soldier to his Canadian Command that all were aware that Hezbollah had been active in their area.  Furthermore, Hezbollah got 13,000 rockets placed within Lebanon during the years the UN was to be functioning in Lebanon.  Mr. Annan and his cohorts chose to continue their $$$ scandals while all this was going on.  Had Mr. Annan and his cohorts cared about the UN Forces deployed in harms way, they all should have been screaming bloody murder before there were any.  Mr. Annan should have informed UN membership what was going on in Lebanon with Hezbollah and acted.  Instead Mr. Annan continued his scandalous behavior, said and did nothing resulting in the deaths of his member troops.  Now he has the gall to demand an immediate ceasefire!  You're late for work, Mr. Annan.  He refused to resign over the scandals, however it is obvious now that his behavior has cost the lives of those he was supposed to protect.  His resignation should be immediate, and until he steps down the US and others with people serving in the UN Forces should censure him and refuse further payments to the UN.  Mr. Annan is as guilty as Hezbollah, and should be seen for the criminal he is.
