The thing I like, is that you continuously harp on about how Cuba, Saudi Arabia, China, and so on are on the UN Human Rights council, as though they're below US standards, yet you fail to note that the US is the only nation on the planet to have been charged with, what basically equates to terrorism and the funding of terrorism. Reagan and the Iran-Contra scandal.
It also continues to fund terrorist groups world-wide (eg: attacks by Peruvian fighter aircraft on civilian aircraft as a part of "combating drug smuggling", which led to all bar one of a family of US missionaries being killed in 2001).
I love the bear & oatmeal story!
