The new UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon made his first visit to Iraq today. But a rocket landed inside the Green Zone while he was doing a press conference. He wasn't injured but the pomp, the ceremony, the whole stupid flowers on a podium gig was exposed for the rubbish it is.
In general, politicians look like inane morons when placed in front of national flags so they look regal and in control when their mugs appear in tomorrow's papers. But it's nonsense, photo-op PR-friendly bullshit, designed to present a united front, regardless of what the politicians actually say.
