Kofi Annan Says Iraq War Is Illegal

In an interview with the BBC, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said the U.S. decision to invade Iraq was illegal. He maintains that future operations should have UN approval or much broader support.

My interpretation of his words is that the U.S. should defend itself only when the UN or France and Germany approve. My response to his comments is "Shove it, Kofi."
