Annan says military actions in Iraq not the solution calls for negotiation

Secretary-General Kofi Annan late Thursday said the military actions in Iraq are not the solution to improve the situation in the war-torn country and called for negotiations instead.

Annan was apparently referring indirectly to the US opening a channel with the insurgents in Iraq through its ambassador there.

The security environment continues to constrain both the Organization's presence and its ability to operate effectively in Iraq, he argued.

1. But the only way Bush knows how to respond to anything

is with heavy handed military actions. Talk to people? Doesn't Kofi know Bush doesn't know how to do that?

2. Will cooler heads prevail?

The UN getting involved somehow could be a postive, but knowing dubby and bolton, they can quell this uprising.
