As George W. Bush prepared to make war on Saddam Hussein, a number of peace activists announced they were going to Iraq to serve as “human shields”. I never did find out if they carried out their self proclaimed mission. By the way, where are these same people when the Syrian/Alawite government is committing war crimes against its own people?
Now THIS is a place where Mr. Sean Penn ought to stick his long nose. I couldn’t think of a more noble mission than Mr. Penn and the peace activists confronting Syrian tanks. Stand up for Democracy and Peace!
The UN splits hairs while Syrian thugs split heads.
Is this what the UN has become? Has the concept of a world decision making authority to mediate disputes and to prevent wars degenerated into a slimefest comprised of butchers, opportunists, terrorists of varying stripe, and other hangers-on? It may time to tell the wealthy restaurateurs in New York that they had better start figuring out how to make money without serving fine food to a bunch of savages.
This ought to be enough to ignite the Occupy Wall Street crowd, but they obviously believe unsavory Wall Street practices are far worse crimes than the massacring of innocent women and children.
