You have an irritating way of asserting yourself.
I did not claim that Annan knows 'nothing', I did say that if he placed the blame on the US (and the US alone) for the slim report, then he was an idiot. Most idiots know something, just not very much.

I also did not claim to know everything.

My comment about Anti-American crap had nothing to do with a single article in the Sunday Herald, although the link was without a date leaving one suspect, but then the British press is always suspect!

France was responsible for both Algeria and Vietnam, and an apology doesn't make it all go away.

Show me the starving people who expressely asked their governments to let them die rather than eat US foodstuffs. How much do you want to bet that it was European pressure that caused the governments of impoversed African nations to reject Food Aid from America. The rejection had nothing to do with altered foods, it was an excuse not a cause of concern.
