Madam, - Kevin Myers is well able to look after himself, but he deserves some support for his views on Kofi Annan and the United Nations. The only thing that unites the UN is a visceral hatred of the United States, magnified of course under George Bush. The UN diplomats live in considerable style in Manhattan and have seldom been known to fly economy class. The US taxpayer largely makes this comfortable existence possible.

Is it guilt, I wonder, that leads Kofi Annan and others to attack their main benefactor. - Yours, etc.,
