UNITED NATIONS (AFP) UN General Assembly president Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, a harsh critic of US foreign policy under president George W. Bush, accused Washington on Tuesday of demonizing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"I don't think anyone can doubt that in our part of the world, Ahmadinejad has been demonized," the former Nicaraguan foreign minister said as he briefed reporters on his recent foreign tour, including a stop in Iran where he attended a regional economic summit.
"The United States has been in the business of the demonization of people for ever and the canonization of the worst of dictators," he added, referring to the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos, Nicaragua's Anastasio Somoza and Chile's Augusto Pinochet.
The hardline Ahmadinejad has come under fire in the West over his country's refusal to scale back its nuclear ambitions and for suggesting that Israel should be wiped off the map.
But d'Escoto, a US-born former priest, said he was struck during his visit to Tehran earlier this month by the "great respect" Iran enjoys from its neighbors for sheltering 3.5 million Afghan refugees.
D'Escoto, who served as foreign minister under Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government from 1979 to 1990, has often been harshly critical of US and Israeli policies --

The world could use a few more Pinochets.
We did not put the words in his mouth, that he has spoken to the press.
Any demonizing he did himself.
“The world could use a few more Pinochets.”
and a lot fewer Miguel d’Escoto Brockmanns
More of the former would probably reduce the latter.
Just another in a long list of reasons why we should dump the UN and send them packing......
The UN is the world’s foremost rogue state.
boo-hoo, pong
demons sue for defamation of character
Obambi isn’t “sending the UN packing”. He’s going to give them the keys to the city. For starters.
He’s not just any Nicaraguan. His boss is Daniel Ortega.
OK, there it is, the money quote.
Another Satanic act by the UN comes in an eyebrow-raising form: Defending the Hilter of our time.
I didn’t think they’d be so open about it, but with Hussein in power in America, the Satanists must be emboldened.
awwwww, booo hooo , Ahmad-e-din-e-wackjob is who he is , is what he is and what he represents and ALL OF US KNOW WHAT HE STANDS FOR , this clueless organization, soft-peddling UN needs a kick in the a**

"EH?...The UN should start wearing pink helmets with flowers as chin straps...AND TAKE THEIR SHOW ON THE ROAD"
Looks like Brockmann has not problem “demonizing” a whole country (Israel). Jackass hypocrite alert.
D’Escoto is an old “Liberation Theology” marxist and traitor to Nicaragua.
A friend of the Sandinista US network of the Nicaraguan Network, WOLA (Wash. Office on Latin America), EPICA (Rev. Wheaton), Quixote Center (a phonebooth operation of leftists), and the CPUSA’s National Conference on Nicaragua (Sen. Ted Kennedy and Harkin supported it), and Institute for Policy Studies.
If I left any commie group out, I’m sorry. Just add your name and address.
These UN cockroaches have no sense of shame at all...
Cheers!
