Wall Street Journal contributor James Bone explains why the UN Secretary-General accused him of not being a “serious journalist.”
UNITED NATIONS–Kofi Annan, U.N. secretary-general and Nobel peace laureate, is normally the meekest of diplomats. He is so accommodating he once described Saddam Hussein as a man “I can do business with.” These days he spends a good deal of time on the phone with Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. Yet he seems to have problem with me.
It was with some amusement that I found myself the target of a decidedly undiplomatic tirade by the U.N. chief at a news conference last week.

[To] opponents of actor-director Rob Reiner’s pending $2.3 billion universal preschool initiative, the spots feel more like taxpayer-financed political advocacy that primes voters for the June election.
Just as Damsel and I thought: the preschool endorsement ads are a political ploy by the left. It seems that the socialist-inclined teaching profession wants our kids sooner in order to prevent parental contamination of their well-thought-out political indoctrination of your kids. We spotted this underlying theme in the ads when they began, and contend that the socialist attitude is “you birth ’em, we’ll take it from there.” This concept is working in China and other communist nations, where youth indoctrination is vital to the survival of tyrannical governments. They don’t want your parental guidance of morality, ethics and religion to interfere with their program.
