#1 Lol - great comments, Fred! I could add some sexual references, since this article disingenuously refers to this mythical neutrality as if it were akin to virginity, but what occurs to me to write is somewhat indelicate.

*self-control*

The fact that the UN has been screwed, blued, and tattooed by every has-been, wanna-be, roaring mouse, thug, despot, mullah, racist, and Paleo-symp who ever wandered by makes the ~~foolish and absurd drivel~~ sentiments displayed in this "piece" a bit silly. Brown is obviously deluded, deranged, and disingenuous - not to mention a self-righteous parasite - and thus well-suited to be a multi-culti apologist and whining UN Staffer. Good fit.

#2 The United Nations should find ways to demonstrate political independence, regain the neutrality it lost after the Sept. 11 attacks and better communicate with the world's 1 billion Muslims, a top U.N. official said Monday.

In order to lose something, you have to have it first.

#3 "All of it is a steady erosion of the independence of the U.N. and I feel very strongly that we are failing to communicate with a billion Muslims in the world in an effective way."

I got a newsflash for you, bub. The UN can't communicate effectively with anybody.
Is that neutral enough for you?

#4 Neutral . . . between civilization and tyrrany? Between the use of force in defense of innocent life and genocide? Between the rule of law and the rule of men?

That sort of neutrality's not a feature, it's a bug.

"Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."

--G.W. Bush, 9/20/01

#5 IS this asshat English or from North America? Nothing wrong with him a good stumble down a set of stairs won't cure. This is the kind of wussed out thought that has to be stamped out. There is no nutrality when your civilization is under attack mr. asshat.
