For the first time on Friday, the United States subjected itself to some harsh criticisms from friends and foes alike among the 47 nations sitting on the United Nations Human Rights Council. The U.S. took the criticism in stride with a high-level delegation of around 30 officials led by Esther Brimmer, the assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs.

Among the chief critics and first in line at the podium to speak out: Cuba, Iran, Russia, North Korea and Venezuela, whose delegates reportedly camped out overnight to secure their spot behind the podium.

Cuban ambassador Rodolfo Reyes Rodriguez called on the U.S. to end its blockade of the island country, calling it a “crime of genocide.”  In addition, it condemned the U.S. for “violations against migrants and mentally ill persons” and called on America to “ensure the right to food and health” for all citizens.

Iran’s delegation demanded the U.S. “halt serious violations of human rights and humanitarian law including covert external operations by the CIA carried out on pretext of combating terrorism.”  The Islamic nation — currently poised to stone a woman for alleged adultery charges — told the United States it needed to “combat violence against women.”

North Korea, a dictatorial nation known to starve its own people, told the U.S. “to address inequalities in housing, employment and education” and “prohibit brutality…by law enforcement officials.” The delegation also noted that it was “concerned by systematic widespread violations committed by the United States at home and abroad.”

Libya accused the U.S. of systematic “racism, racial discrimination and intolerance.”

The criticism didn‘t only come from America’s foes.  Countries like the United Kingdom and France condemned the United States for its allowance of capital punishment.  Still, Assistant Secretary Brimmer told the council that “it is an honor to be in this chamber.”

Who the f*** are these people? They can't even be taken seriously in any way. They need to get out of this country, and go to a more human rights tolerant one,.....like Iran, or North Korea.

I thought I had heard it all..

Fu*$ the UN,
 It was never intended as anything but an excuse for FDR to give England material they had no money left to buy in their fight against Hitler.

Actually, listening to the lectures from Iran and North Korea has got be kind of fun. I figure the Ambassador has a few beers, sits there, and tries really, really hard not to fall down laughing. I'm sure the quotes are all over the US offices. I particularly like hearing the Iranian concern about women's rights and NKs concern about us not providing adequate food.

They want us to take food away from any one who has it, not give it to those who don't.

Remember, this is an organization that is set up to give the United States the same vote, as a third world stink hole nation like Cameroon. Who's entire GNP doesn't equal what Toy's-R-Us does at Christmas time. Yet, if we pulled out financially, the entire joint would completely fold up in less than 6 months.  What is wrong with this picture?...... Bill T.

AND DIE QUICKLY!!!!!

Remember the rule about blue-helmets on American soil.
