NITED NATIONS – The outspoken U.N. General Assembly president on Tuesday accused the United States of demonizing Iran's president and criticized the International Criminal Court for issuing an arrest warrant for Sudan's leader on war crimes charges in Darfur.

Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, a Roman Catholic priest from Nicaragua with openly leftist views, also reiterated that the more he thinks about the conditions that Israel imposes on the Palestinians, the more he tends "to think about apartheid."

During a wide-ranging press conference, d'Escoto insisted he wasn't being divisive or promoting his own agenda — but was just fulfilling his duty as president of the 192-member General Assembly to uphold the U.N. Charter and promote peace and nonviolence.

Generally speaking, we only demonize the deserving...

Of course, that is subject to change under the anointed one.

Notice that more and more heads of states and UN officials criticize us. Obama has failed to raise world opinion of the U.S. We must make a full apology to the world body and do it soon. Looks to me like we need to accept Islam and accept it soon or the bashing will never stop. /s
