Somebody named a cyclone after hurricane Katrina? How cute.
I'm impressed.

I'm most impressed with this admission.
I'm sure the confiscation of privately owned guns by police will top the list of UN's concerns over human rights violations.
Exactly what my first thought was--LOL!
Why is the UN looking into "human rights violations" in NO?
If there is corruption, that is the business of the voters in the USA.
If they want to find "human rights violations", they can go to Havana, which is not very far away.
"UN? Rwanda's been waiting on line 3...waiting...waiting..."
A better question is why our gov't would allow a UN investigation on our soil? This angers me.
K-A-T-R-I-N-A.
To some, it needs to be spelled out.
I'm afraid you have confused "Human Rights" which are granted by a popular vote at the UN with "Civil Rights" which are endowed by our Creator, my friend.
And I always thought that the Swiss only had holes in their cheese.
Because they need something to keep them busy while they ignore the statement by the Iranian president calling for the eradication of Israel.
I don't think this is the actual "United Nations"
I think it is these guys trying for face time, and that "UNO" is just one of their masks.....

The UN heard there was 2Bil moving through LA and Miss., and they of course will never go anywhere where there are actual human rights violations going on - no 5 Star hotels.
