UN Still Covers for Dictators - IUN supporters keep talking about how it can be reformed, but a recent UN conference shows that reform is probably unattainable.
President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has denounced US President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair as "the two unholy men of our millennium" at the UN Food Agency anniversary meeting here Monday...Before Saddam was deposed, of course, the people of Iraq could only exercise their right to choose between voting for Saddam or ending up in a mass grave. That a thug like Mugabe was invited to speak at this conference says all that needs to be said about the UN. The height of irony is that Mugabe, who singlehandedly transformed Zimbabwe from the food-exporting breadbasket of Africa into a starving basket case, was speaking at a food conference."Must we allow these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed their unholy alliance, formed an alliance to attack an innocent country?" Mugabe said.
"We did not agree with Saddam Hussein, but we accorded to the people of Iraq their right to decide who should rule them," said the 81-year-old Zimbabwean leader, who was applauded at the end of his speech.
As a side note, racist Louis Farrakhan was silent at his Millions (i.e. Thousands) More March on the brutality that Mugabe has inflicted on his black subjects, using starvation and homelessness as weapons to defend his tyrannical rule. Lucky for Mugabe he's black, or he might have aroused Farrakhan's ire.
