Who cares what the UN thinks? They can't stand being put in their place and ignored.

Phuque the UN.

Thanks for posting this, but I stopped caring what anyone at the United Nations thought a long, long time ago.

Eff them all.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Thanks, but no thanks. All murder is a crime against humanity. Another term for "hate crime". This was an act of war against the United States. Don't want to be any more obligated to them than we already are. Payback's a bitch.

as if anyone asked my opinion :-}

The recent "World Conference Against Whitey" Moslem hate-fest in Durban may have brought Mary Robinson around a bit.

It will be interesting to see what the response is to this from all of the countries who put much stock in the UN, when it comes to bashing the US that is.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Feeling a bit left out after all those efforts to appease and negotiate with the Taliban, are they?

to recognise the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon as "crimes against humanity".

Is there a talking point running around the leftist groups saying that the phrase terrorist attack must be replaced by suicide attack? The terrorists as victims? GRRR!

[Dems_R_Losers]

Well, sure, but stuff like this does help us in the propaganda war. It echoes President Bush's speech comparing Al Qaeda to Fascists and Nazis and totalitarians. It also gives notice to the Islamic states that have been using the UN as their anti-semitic and anti-American playground lately that there is some terrorism that even the UN will not make excuses for.

"crimes against humanity".

I hate that term.

This is indicative of Reuters' decision to stop using the word "terrorist" to describe the September 11 atrocities. The head of Reuters even said that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Notice that in this article the only use of the word "terrorist" is in quotes from Mary Robinson.

Commentary: Avoiding the word "terrorist"

[monkeywrench]

"The International Criminal Court, which Robinson hopes will be set up in 12-18 months, says that crimes against humanity include the deliberate targeting of civilians." I think this is the key, here. They're determined to push their leftist agenda on us one way or the other. I guess this is where the political leaders tell the sheeple , 'You see, we need the IC for future terrorists to be brought to international justice.'

[arkfreepdom]

Who cares what they have to say. We're not even on the Human Rights Commission anymore, remember?

U.N ...laying groundwork for International Court as{" result of horrible terrorist attacks"}

[norton]

It would be real interesting to know how many of those who made the most noise either in opposing the US on the commission or in ragging on us for leaving the Durban conference had foreknowledge or expectations that the 9/11 murders were to take place.
Participants in the Durban conference barely had time to unpack before the towers were attacked. ...How many of them will find themselves on the "supports terrorism" list?

[Overtaxed]

Sounds like the UN just realized that the train left the station without them.

[kaylar]

That's it exactly. By defining this as a crime against humanity, rather than an act of war, they're trying to grab the reins from the US and push their antisovereignty agenda.

If Dubya lets them get away with anything - even the eensiest little smidgen - he can kiss my vote goodbye in 2004.

The UN is part of the problem and, ergo, should have nothing to do with the solution. Unless "involvement" is defined as absorbing a couple of ArcLight strikes.
