He was attacked because he was a strong proponent of the interim Governing Council, and thus supported the efforts at building a new democratic constitution. No lover of the US and freedom should feel any comfort from this callous murder.

Then there must be something wrong with democracy. It's not possibly the fault of the bombers, if that's what you are suggesting.

The article says, "He became senior political adviser to the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon between 1981 and 1983, covering the period when Israel invaded. In the early 1990s, he was in Cambodia and then in disintegrating Yugoslavia. In 1996, he was made assistant high commissioner for refugees. Two years later, he moved to New York to become undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs soon after Kofi Annan became secretary-general.
He later became a special U.N. envoy in Kosovo following the U.S.-led bombing raids that broke Serbian control of the province in 1999. He gained widespread praise for overseeing East Timor's three-year transition to independence after Indonesia withdrew in 1999.

In September 2002, he was appointed U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights."

He got alot of promotions through the years. I can't imagine the un promoting decent freedom loving people to anything. The only interest the un has shown in freedom, is in promoting their freedom to pick our pockets.
