Protecting Human Rights??

Bravo! After condemning Cuba's human rights record every year, for the past five years, the UN has finally decided to take action.

What do you suppose that action is? Condemn them again? Nah!

The UN appointed Cuba to an elite "action panel" that will influence the work of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights.

Of course, Cuba is a perfect choice when you consider who the other two members of the action panel are. China and Zimbabwe.

The Three Amigos

Meet The Three Amigos, Shaft, Stretch and Dick, cartoon condom characters created by the United Nations to help stop the spread of AIDS. The cartoon series places "The Three Amigos" in a variety of settings, including a spaceship, soccer field and casino, where they talk about safe sex.

The spaceship spot has the Amigos as astronauts on a rumbling launchpad inside a condom-shaped craft as it builds power to liftoff while a female voice, apparently mimicking orgasmic sounds, counts down. The launch suddenly aborts and the voice over at the end tells viewers: "No condom, no blastoff. Stop the spread of AIDS."

The soccer ad says: "You just can't score without a condom."

So. The commercials appear to be effective, especially in the Congo, where UN peacekeepers are raping and abusing young girls by the hundreds.

Even after the onset of an internal UN inquiry, investigators found "freshly used condoms" littering guard posts and command centres around Bunia, where peacekeepers from Pakistan, Morocco, Nepal and Bangladesh are based.

Kofi Annan could not be reached for comment, being much too busy enacting yet another UN Resolution against Israel. Priorities, ya know?

UPDATE: Here's a scary thought: what if moonbats had their own army? And here's a scarier one: they do — it's called the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations.

You might think that an army of bumbling pacifist bureaucrats would be no threat to anyone. True, they have not been much of a menace to genocidal socialist dictators like Saddam and Milosevic, or mad mullahs chasing nukes in Iran, or the sinister Kewpie doll in North Korea who already has nukes, or al Qaeda, or anybody else who makes the world a dangerous place.

But there is one group with reason to fear the U.N. Army: underage girls.

Lessons to be Learned in Bam

Almost exactly one year prior to the December tsunami, a town in Iran was hit with an earthquake. Thirty-one thousand people in Bam died that day.

One billion in aid was pledged but according to the UN, most of the aid money never arrived. Still, the UN claims to have raised $50 million but one year later, only $17 million has been spent and nothing much has been changed in Bam. Surprise, surprise.

People, forced to lived outdoors, without fresh water or food, have become prey for scorpions, dozens have died or have been paralyzed.

Twelve months after Bam's destruction, survivors still have to conduct their lives in the open air. Cobblers and tailors work outside the ruins of their shops. Women huddle round standpipes to fill plastic basins for their washing.

"They promised to give us somewhere to live but we are still living in tents," complained fruitseller Mohammad Hosseini.

What would it take to get an accounting of the aid money sent to Bam, aid money that has surely disappeared into the deep pockets of Kofi Annan?

I have heard reports of yet another earthquake in Iran today, 5.8 on the Richter Scale. As of this moment, there is nothing in the news about this, it may not be true. But if it is... consider this...

Pledges for Asian tsunami victims have topped $6.5 billion. It appears that Kofi has found an alternative source of income now that Saddam is gone. Where there is a will, there is always a way.

Another Proud Day in UN History

The United Nations is investigating about 150 allegations of sexual abuse by its staff and soldiers in the Congo. The charges include accusations of pedophilia, rape and prostitution, some of which have been recorded on videotape.

"I am afraid there is clear evidence that acts of gross misconduct have taken place," said Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Although it promises a full investigation and to hold those involved accountable, the fact is that the UN has never been open or honest and has been known to ignore evidence in the past – including accusations of rape and murder by "peacekeepers."

Look on the bright side Kofi: at least no one was forced to wear panties on their heads. Now that would be an outrage!
