The Guardian of London is reporting that UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, will openly challenge the White House doctrine of preemptive military attacks today on the floor of the United Nations shortly before President Bush addresses the General Assembly. Annan is expected to accuse the U.S. of using “lawless use of force.” Annan will say the logic of preemptive attacks “represents a fundamental challenge to the principles on which, however imperfectly, world peace and stability have rested for the last 58 years.”
