On 1 October, in his address to a special week-long session of the General Assembly on terrorism, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said, "As we summon the will and the resources needed to succeed in the struggle against terrorism, we must also care for all the victims of terrorism, whether they are the direct targets or other populations who will be affected by our common effort. That is why I have launched an alert to donors about the potential need for much more generous humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan."

I imagine my information from reading...try it sometime! Now back to my original question:

this is from one of your previous posts,"i'm not justifying or "supporting" canadians". So you don't support Canadians but their "your" people? PLEASE explain!

so where does it say the u.n. voted before the u.s. got authority from congress to go to war.
