| Syria decries ''double standard'' toward Iraq... |
| 2002-09-16 |
| Security Council member Syria, in a speech reflecting the views of many Muslim and anti-Western countries, complained yesterday that Israel had violated more U.N. resolutions than Iraq and yet was not subject to threats of military action. Toldja so... 'Course it didn't take a 3-digit IQ to figure that's what they'd do, either... Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Shara also pointed out that Israel, not Iraq, was occupying foreign lands, ignoring Security Council resolutions and openly producing nuclear weapons. |

| #2 Hey, we're being fair. We're sending troops, planes, and missiles into Israel. We have a lot of military action going on. Would Syria like US troops and missiles too? |

| #1 I've argued prodigiously that many Middle Eastern nations have found that human rights can be an effective ploy to pursue their agenda against Israel, and by extension the U.S. The perfect tool for such an agenda: the International Criminal Court. Kofi Annan said last Tuesday during the first ever International Criminal Court Assembly of States Parties: "The ICC is not –- and must never become -- an organ for political witch hunting." I argue it already is. Your post Fred is a perfect example of it. |
