All of these comments have been made here in the UNITED STATES in the last 24 hours at the United Nations General Assembly:
The Ugly
“The devil came here yesterday…. He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world.” - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
Ugly Runner-Up
“If they have difference with a nation or state, they drag it to the Security Council and as claimants, arrogate to themselves simultaneously the roles of prosecutor, judge and executioner. Is this a just order?” — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Shameless.
The Bad
“Unless we end foreign occupation and suppression of Muslim peoples, terrorism and extremism will continue to find recruits among alienated Muslims in various parts of the world…” —Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf
Rich coming from one of our allies.
The Good
“As long as the Security Council is unable to end this conflict, so long will respect for the United Nations continue to decline.” — UN Secretary General Kofi Annan
Imagine that.
