Subject: NYU professor on assignment with UN warns that drone attacks could be war crimes
Zhang Fei    10/27/2009 11:17:33 PM
Another day, another nutjob from New York:
A U.N. human rights investigator warned the United States Tuesday that its use of unmanned warplanes to carry out targeted executions may violate international law.

Philip Alston said that unless the Obama administration explains the legal basis for targeting particular individuals and the measures it is taking to comply with international humanitarian law which prohibits arbitrary executions, "it will increasingly be perceived as carrying out indiscriminate killings in violation of international law."

There is no harmonized algamation of "international law."  Enforcement solely reposes with an able, motivated enforcer.  When was the last time a human rights investigator tried an islamicist?  Ignore the dual U.N. human rights standards.  Alston and other communists can go stuff themselves with a rough tree.

I find it interesting that the UN can always find problems with international law when it comes to the US and Israel, but never can seem to find violations of international law with terrorists or dictatorships.
 
I used to think the UN was becoming the League of Nations.  Now I don't know.  The League at least condemned Mussolini for invading Ethiopia.  I think the UN today would praise Il Duce for restraint and blame Israel.

Honduras being a glaring example of support of would-be dictators.  The UN is also claiming to be investigating the homeless in NYC as a "humanitarian crisis", and then try to send in the NGOs.
 

NGOs are the UN's tool for colonizing and controlling developing countries by going in and taking over health and human services functions of those developing central gov'ts.  The counties then become wholly dependent on the NGOs for HHS functions and that makes them subject to the UN and the NGO management, who trot out dirty, poor kids in the slums of the world to attract funding, though 90% of that funding will go to NGO mid and upper level people so they can travel around the world going to conferences, talking and doing nothing.

But he probably voted for him, so he wouldn't be a racist.  But he is probably getting some backdoor funding and political connections from the UN.
 
Maybe we ought to let AQ knock down the UN building?

Many real racist, the KKK type, actually voted Obama, believing that this will be instigate their recruitment.
 
No, you need to send John Bolton back to the UN.

And most of them being really dumb, never thought he'd actually win.  BTW how do you know what the KKK and Nazis voted for?
 
Traditional Asians don't seem to like Black folks much.

During late Ming period, Koxinga employed an all-black units and armed them with arquebus. Those black people were run away slaves or mercenaries by Europeans. Koxinga himself prefer use them as his personal body guards, as he trusts none of his fellow Chinese.

He probably got them from captured and abandoned people from the Dutch East India company.  Fear of Manchurians assassins would be the biggest motivator for non-Chinese bodyguards.  But how are blacks treated now?  And look at how Asians look at dark skin in general.

Don't discourage them.  They might be useful for once, just keep an eye out for the child molesters.

Ispose    Fix the UN   10/29/2009 12:43:25 PM
It's easy to fix the UN..only need to do 2 things:
1 - Move it from NY to some 3rd World craphole for it HQ...you would see it's staff size shrink dramitically
2 - I'm not sure how many UN memebers there are so I may not be accurate on this number but...If there 150 UN member countries....each pays 1/150th of the budget....no more free ride at the expense of the US taxpayer

I"m not black.  But I know lots of guys whose gfs or wives were disowned by the family and get stuff thrown at them, especially around college campuses.

The UN types will be the ones molesting.  The UN and its NGOs wedge themselves in like a parasite and make countries dependent on their services, then insert their political and financial objectives as a condition of receiving continual aid.

Strange. In typical Chinese family, it's the sons who got thrown at.
