| NYSun Editorial: Annan Is Mum (short, sweet, slam-dunk) |
| 2005-10-20 |
| Secretary General Annan is refusing to comment to the press on the decision of the world body to give a platform to one of the world's most repressive dictators, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, to compare President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to Hitler and Mussolini. Maybe Congress can get him to say something as it continues its probe as to why America is funding the world body. Let Congress ask about the applause that greeted Mr. Mugabe at the U.N. conference this week in Rome in connection with the 60th birthday of the Food and Agriculture Organization. Not only did Mr. Mugabe compare President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to Hitler and Mussolini but he called them "international terrorists." It pumped the crowd. It would be ironical, if it weren't so offensive, that a U.N. body whose stated aim is to lead "international efforts to defeat hunger" invites a dictator responsible for turning a once prosperous country into an economic basket-case to address it. Mr. Mugabe's Marxist land-reform policies have led to once productive farms being ruined. If there was racial injustice in Zimbabwe, as there was, this was clearly not the way to deal with it. Now more than 4 million Zimbabweans need aid. Poverty, disease, and starvation are rampant across the country. When questioned on the suitability of inviting a despot like Mr. Mugabe to address the meeting, a spokesman for the FAO, Nicholas Parsons, told The New York Sun that all heads of member states were invited, and as Zimbabwe has been a "member in good standing" since the 1980s, it is "appropriate" that it, like all members, could attend. Only under the auspices of the United Nations could one of the world's most repressive dictators be reelected to a Human Rights Commission - a feather Mr. Mugabe placed in his cap earlier this year despite a habit of rigging elections and beating opponents - before being cheered for denouncing two leaders who liberated a country from another repressive dictator. And now the head of the whole organization stands mum while asking for more money from the alleged Hitlers and Mussolinis. |

| #2 Of course, hunger will not be the problem if all plants in the world become radiated or contaminated by rogue third rate military dictatorships who apply their edge and cash to create such weapons and hand them over to those "Peace loving" rogue elements. Those elements happend to spawn from those dictatorships and those dictatorships happen to somehow share seats in the UN. As those UN soldiers currently continue to rape 8 year old girls in on the edge of the jungles in Africa, The UN "lawmakers" contine to appease the very nations that threaten all of mankind with their reckless development and handeling of the most leathal substancees man ever made. Never mention of a 1400 "loss" of Nuclear warheads from a bankrupt republic somewhere or a nuclear reactor that melted down in the MIDDLE of Europe that was never fixed and the clock keeps on ticking. Look at man's invention gone awry. Watch everyone still trying to buy this crap so they can be "big boys" on the block like that il in the head kim and continue to believe that after they have died, it will be magically taken care of. At this rate, idiots would have everyone in the world with a big red button ready to push if they were least bit angered. All I can say is keep it up and see where it gets your children. Y'all lucky God is merciful and very patient. What should Robert expect? Maybe that turd burgler should not look forward to dying anytime soon. A shanti really sucks in hell, hypocrite. |
