At U.N. headquarters in New York, diplomats confirmed that the report did not find that Sudan had committed genocide, but they said it was very critical of Sudanese government actions.I'm sure that will make all the thousands of dead people and their relatives feel much better.

I say the UN is proving it is no longer useful and should be kicked out of our country.

Didn't the government strafe its own people again this week, or last? Tell me why we listen to the UN again.

This says more about the United Nations than it does about Sudan. And nothing that it says is good. It's absurd that the American taxpayers fund 25% of the budget of an organization like this.

Kinda' reminds of what Joseph Jackson said today about Michael Jackson...
"Michael Jackson's popularity in America is dwindling due to racism...

This says more about the United Nations than it does about Sudan. Yes. The old League of Nations was criticized - and finally disbanded - because it was completely ineffectual. But it didn't harm anyone or lie about atrocities while scarfing up untold fortunes in Swiss bank accounts by it's management and their dictator sugar daddies.

I heard there also is a U.N. report coming out that determines there was no genocide in Central and Eastern Europe from 1942 through 1945, although the U.N. panel recommended that Germany be reprimanded in the harshest terms possible for killing innocent civilians who all happened to be Jewish, or Christian, or gay, or gypsies, or basically, anybody who "wasn't pure enough."
That same report stated the United States committed genocide in Guantanamo Bay and an Iraq prison during 2004.
Seriously, 70k dead in Sudan, but that's no genocide? What the heck does it take for the U.N. to actually condemn a fascist regime?

Nice timing just after the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz being liberated.

Last year, the United Nations said the Darfur conflict created the world's worst humanitarian crisis. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Sunday a report on the situation would be forwarded to Security Council members "very shortly." Take your time, you sorry POS. How many Christians have to be murdered before he says it's genocide?? You don't suppose he's protecting his Muslim brothers do you? Maybe it's because he is one!

a U.N. report concluded that no genocide was committed in his country's Darfur region, where tens of thousands of civilians have diedI guess they'll have to find to some other politically correct term for the death of of tens of thousands civilians.
To: Libertas aut Mortis
...and Kofi is deeply disturbed. After all, an official "genocide" finding might
force -- I say
force -- the UN to take drastic steps against Sudan... like discussing the
possibility of sanctions. Horrors! The thought of actually having to DO something in response to the murder of thousands of people.
But millions are dying of AIDS in Africa, and somehow it's Bush's fault, not that of the UN.
I'm really getting sick of this: every week there's another major reason for the UN to vacate that building in New York. Give it to the homeless -- they'd make better use of it!

And we are sooooooooo surprised that the UN, fresh from its oil-for-fraud whoremongering, couldn't see the genocide right in front of its face. (/sarcasm)
My heart cries for the people of Sudan. May they be freed from the tyranny of this injustice.

Just think how helpful that money would be if we de-funded the UN and spent the money on border patrol agents AND enforcement instead! Wow!

What the heck does it take for the U.N. to actually condemn a fascist regime? Depends on who you bribe. Bribing Kofi might be simpler but more expensive than bribing a few dozen ambassadors.

OK, liberals, defend the UN. You have 3 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to speak.

Where is the outcry from the black community?
God still sits as judge of the UN. He will have the last word.
WE need to remove that evil from our midst lest we go down with them.
