COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
This report is total crap propaganda, and, as a couple of thoughtful
readers remind us below, murderous Saudi Arabia is now chair of the committee
issuing this report for “human rights.”
The UN today is in total lockstep with the United States. It
displays virtually no independence.
A few years back, the United States showed the UN just who
is boss by refusing to pay its dues for a considerable amount of time. That ugly
display wouldn't be soon forgotten since the U.S. accounts for fully a quarter of
the budget.
Whenever a man of some independent-mindedness has managed to
be elected as Secretary General, America has constructed a plot to oust him, as
in the case of Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
Old Madeleine Albright, a truly bloody character, won her diplomatic
spurs with just such dirty work.
