“Those who seek to bestow legitimacy must themselves embody it, and those who invoke international law must themselves submit to it.” ~ Kofi Annan at the UN General Assembly

Full speech (it rocks).

The world reaction to Bush’s UN speech:

“Yet the president put an almost cheerful spin on the turmoil, forecasting success in stopping the violence and in sticking to the January deadline for national elections. The glib, simplistic level of the Iraq portion of his speech was almost insulting, considering his audience, remarked one Western diplomat who was present. The French newspaper Le Monde Wednesday quoted an African official as saying, (Bush) gives us lessons, but he doesn't apply them himself.”
