You are surely jesting my dear friend. What a great example of a dry English humor. Monty Python at it's best.

I'm rarely serious these days, mietla. I'm extraordinarily lazy and it takes effort to make a serious point.

Only brainwashing I see is that "US rule" (zipped (tm)) attitude going on in the media.
and of course some of those favorable speeches of congress to approve some war actions.

I do still remember that one guy who was filth mouth and then after asking him where he lives, he responded "USA and proud of it!", which after response was "like I thought"
He did get the trick anyway, since he went "doh" and understood the point. (now he actually started to behave)

Britain shouldn't be on any human rights commitees either. Europe has just ruled we violated the rights of several IRA men by shooting them, thereby denying them the right to life.
The IRA attacked a police station using a mechanical digger with a huge bomb in the shovel. They detonated the bomb, then opened fire with AK47s. The SAS men who shot them didn't give these heavily armed men, in the process of trying to murder any survivors of their bomb, a proper opportunity to surrender

That's not the point of the ruling Nashwan.

The ruling is that the incident was not investigated properly.

Frankly, they deserved everything they got - they did not surrender when challenged and open fire instead.

Okay, stepping back from anything even involving the US for a moment.

Does anyone actually think having Human Rights resolutions voted on and presided over by a slave state, several dictatorships, etc is a step in the right direction?  What kind of a joke has it become?

Fatty,

Who better than the foxes to watch over the hen house?  
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Nah, Sun.  Let's make it a casino.  Or maybe it could be Bill Clinton's new office?  Too small for Hilary, unfortunately.
