The cat's got FARC's tongue

Colombia's largest rebel group FARC shows it has no interest in a dialogue about peace by attacking cities' water supplies and committing massacres among indigenous people, the United Nations' representative to Colombia said Wednesday.

"The seriousness of the situation now demand the ending of this kind of activities," the UN's representative Bruno Moro told Caracol Radio.

If the FARC doesn't show "to radically repudiate all activities that violate international humanitarian law and if they don't actively show the elimination of certain practices such as using land mines and the killing of communities" there is no sign they want to advance to a political solution to the country's 45-year long violent conflict.

The UN official urged the FARC to release all hostages they are holding captive and to immediately end using landmines in their fight against the government.

So now the UN has an inkling of what Colombians have known for decades-you can't negotiate with terrorist criminal drug traffickers thugs/murders/their apologists.

' a la orden!'

Watching the news today, the Chinese UN representative called the USA a "deadbeat" nation. Why? Because the US taxpayers are 1 Billion behind in payments to the UN. Of all the member nations, the US supports the UN by paying about 25% of the total cost. I dunno, the UN is about as useful as tits on a bull and has the mentality of a paper cup. What a waste of prime real estate in NYC too. It's a joke.

The U.N. needs to finish the Genocide in Darfur. How much longer will that take? Probably no more than 10 years, surely by that time there won't be anymore folks to murder? Think that will finish it?

Then they can study the Colombia situation,, who knows ? 15 more years?

Colombian Chickens are crowing about the new President of the U.S. who will assure that From each according to their ability to each according to their need.

I would like to see a multi-national food fight at the UN cafeteria. It would be nice to get some entertainment for my hard earned tax dollars! :)
