What ossuary of civilization (and capitalization) might you come from? Now, you're obviously an angry young man of below-average intelligence, so let me give you some research assistance. That's what I just live to do. I have absolutely nothing better to do than sit here all day and patiently serve proof that the world is round to slack-jawed eurotrash in charming yet dangerously inbred Alpine villages. And as it turns out, you're wrong. The UN Human Rights Council <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Human_Rights_Council#Council.27s_position_on_Israel" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">condemns no one BUT Israel</a> -- not Sudan, North Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, the Taliban, or the Al Qaeda "resistance" fighters <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/13/AR2005071300336.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">who intentionally explode themselves next to crowds of kids</a>. The only exception I could find was that they stopped to "<a href="http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/specialsession/5/index.htm" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">strongly deplore</a>" the massacre of Burmese monks in the streets of Rangoon, before turning to the next condemnation of Israel for having the temerity to shoot back at and wall out "<a href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?ei=UTF-8&p=israel+bus+bombing+images&qp_p=israel+bus+bombing&imgsz=all&ni=18&fr=yfp-t-501&b=1" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">the liberation struggle</a>." Say, would you be interested in writing to your own Prime Minister / Head of State / Comandante Supremo / President for Life and asking them to find 20 acres of land and 23% of the funding for that whole UN thing, if that's not too much trouble? Personally, I figure that the share of taxes I'm paying for that could get me a nice set of plastic ornamental deer for my lawn instead. <blockquote>... kidnapping and torturing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Muslims, and the U.S. who is doing the same in Iraq, Afghanistan?</blockquote> Right. Can you point to the specific page of the Saddampedia where you read that? Wow. What ossuary of civilization (and capitalization) might you come from? Now, you’re obviously an angry young man of below-average intelligence, so let me give you some research assistance. That’s what I just live to do. I have absolutely nothing better to do than sit here all day and patiently serve proof that the world is round to slack-jawed eurotrash in charming yet dangerously inbred Alpine villages.

And as it turns out, you’re wrong. The UN Human Rights Council condemns no one BUT Israel — not Sudan, North Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, the Taliban, or the Al Qaeda “resistance” fighters who intentionally explode themselves next to crowds of kids. The only exception I could find was that they stopped to “strongly deplore” the massacre of Burmese monks in the streets of Rangoon, before turning to the next condemnation of Israel for having the temerity to shoot back at and wall out “the liberation struggle.”

… kidnapping and torturing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Muslims, and the U.S. who is doing the same in Iraq, Afghanistan?

Right. Can you point to the specific page of the Saddampedia where you read that?
