Keep as DRAFT: Benon Sevan and UN years

(to understand the dirty politics, I like to hear his point of view of events in the past):

Posted July 9, 2021 =>

Finaly, we have a US President who stated: "We did not go to Afghanistan to nation-build. And it’s the right and the responsibility of the Afghan people alone to decide their future and how they want to run their country." Since my days in Afghanistan I have stated repeatedly that no one from outside could impose peace in Afghanistan unless the Afghans themselves come together and make peace in Afghanistan. All one has to do is to look at the history of Afghanistan. No foreign invader and occupier since the days of Alexander the Great has succeeded to stay for a long time in Afghanistan

Here is the information from the WHITE HOUSE, speaches and remarks

Remarks by President Biden on the drawdown of US Forces in Afghanistan - July 8, 2021

I was present at the Security Council meeting in February 2003, when US Secretary of State Colin Powell briefed the members, including using audiovisual tools, to prove his country’s evidence of Iraq’s weapons program. It turned out to be a lie. He expressed his regret in his book after he left his post as Secretary of State.
I worked closely with Ambassador Arria due to the fact that I was in charge of the Division of
the Security Council Affairs in the UN Secretariat.

Does the UN Security Council Have an Arria-Formula Problem?

      I remember that day vividly. It was midday. My desk was at 3853. I was burning inside.

      I also have vivid memories of that day in February 2003. I was at the Council meeting, which was presided by the Foreign minister of France, Dominique de Villepin, and I accompanied him and the French delegation all day during their consultations with other Council members and with the SG. A day I'll never forget.

      The USA in 2003 committed an act of genocide against the people of Iraq.
      The USA action was conducted by zionists such as Wolfowitz, Faith and Pearl the three under secretaries of the Defence Department under the leadership of the war criminal Rumsfeld. The USA allowed the occupation of Iraq under Iran.

      I was watching from the side chairs and was puzzled 🤨 with the newly painted presentation which was clear to some and favorable to so many who wanted to believe. It is not a shame as so many people willing to hear much more and ready to stay on the course of other lies. Big stage for kid’s games.

      We were watching from Baghdad in horror and with such a sorrow in our hearts.

    Still have hopes that one day Bush, Blair, Aznar and Berlusconi will be taken to the International Court of Justice for war crimes…

    At least he admitted the huge farce and quit… the minimum a gentleman must do.
