I'm glad that I've started reading more of my news from Google, 'cause CNN doesn't have anything on this story, unlike 466 other news sources:
Annan: Invasion of Iraq 'illegal'
Now the US and some allies is naturally rejecting this point of view and insisting that the war was legal. It's possible that Annan's comments are his own opinion (which do carry a good amount of weight), but in the past he has kept his comments very broad and vague while still voicing displeasure. Now the voice of the United Nations has changed his verbage and come out straight and to the point.
And now there are reports saying that the whole situation in Iraq is bleak and stability is uncertain. So much for living in a safer, less terror-filled world.
... and now I'll get off my damned soap box.
