" Earlier this year, the UN made one of its most chilling decisions in history, selecting Libya’s Gadhafi to chair the prestigious UN Human Rights Commission. The decision to elect a human rights abuser as chair leaves little hope for the world's oppressed. Pitifully, when the United States tried to rally support against this obscene selection, it could garner only two other votes.

Those who went to UN summits in Johannesburg and Monterey witnessed how far the UN has fallen off the chair of respectability. As the esteemed and highly respected Secretary of State Colin Powell attempted to talk about freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law in Johannesburg, delegates roundly booed and jeered. The same audience erupted in thunderous applause when Robert Mugabe, the tyrant who is starving millions of his fellow countrymen, took the podium. This scene was reminiscent of the reception, which accorded Cuba's communist Fidel Castro in Monterey several months earlier. "
