With Or Without You: After Annan's Retreat

Finally he himself stopped becoming one of the most tragic figures in newer history. And maybe Hollywood might jump up on the Kofi train producing in the next months a block buster with Morgan Freeman under the working title: 'The Negotiator'.

To present Assad the six-points-plan almost half a year ago was both naive and ridiculous. Everyone knowing about the ruthless intentions of the regime to defend their requirement of power realized from the first moment that the demands never would be fulfilled.

So what has changed after Kofi's good bye ending a mission impossible appealing on the goodwill of thoroughgoing evil human beings?

For the people on the ground absolutely nothing. They are still busy seeking shelter from the indiscriminate shelling the regime troops are responsible for, risking every day to get arrested, tortured, murdered.

For the protesters and activists also nothing. They are organizing rallies and civil disobedience, risking every day to get arrested, tortured, murdered.

Also not for the refugees. Their humanitarian situation is the same miserable as it was when Kofi entered the diplomatical stage. And they are risking in the meantime to get attacked and killed by unleashed regime army units.

And what will remain from Annan's six points' initiative which failed in six months, average one point per month? That powerlessness can't be compensated with illusional efforts to appeal to humanness and honor. That more and more people worldwide have lost confidence in the UN body - where a very few number of nations can block and therefore control decisions a majority of other nations brought on the way.

And that it's a waste of time to invite the devil to talks expecting the successful implementation of own conceptions.
