The latest news reports say that Muammar Gaddafi’s military minions are now slaughtering people in the streets in an effort to keep the lunatic Libyan in power.
Let’s jump in Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine and see how the United Nations dealt with the Libyan dictator just last year:
LIBYA was elected overnight to the United Nations Human Rights Council despite numerous complaints that the country was unfit to serve on the international rights body… But the appeal fell on deaf ears, and a General Assembly secret ballot produced 155 votes in favor of adding Libya to the council, significantly more than the 97 votes needed.
Of course, conservatives howled at the time and said that putting Libya on the Human Rights Commission only proved that the United Nations concept is corrupt from top to bottom.
Liberals scoffed and said, “Rogue nations must be engaged. Putting Libya on the Human Rights Council will help them understand their role in the world.”
You might ask ordinary Libyans how that’s working out.
