The United Nations Human Rights Council, a putrid perversion of every high ideal upon which it was founded, has issued a report calling the Israelis war criminals. The HRC has also, in obedience to the wishes of Chávez and Castro, ejected the representative from Honduras. In the very week the U.N. has committed these outrages, the Obama administration has announced that the United States, which quit the organization in 2006, will rejoin. Brilliant.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Poles and Czechs voiced deep concern Friday at President Barack Obama's decision to scrap a Bush-era missile defense shield planned for their countries.
"Betrayal! The U.S. sold us to Russia and stabbed us in the back,"the Polish tabloid Fakt declared on its front page.Polish President Lech Kaczynski said he was concerned that Obama's new strategy leaves Poland in a dangerous "gray zone" between Western Europe and the old Soviet sphere.
An editorial in Hospodarske Novine, a respected pro-business Czech newspaper, said: "an ally we rely on has betrayed us, and exchanged us for its own, better relations with Russia, of which we are rightly afraid."
The move has raised fears in the two nations they are being marginalized by Washington even as a resurgent Russia leaves them longing for added American protection.

It isn't necessary to go very far back in history to learn that any ally who trusts the US is in for a very hard time down the road. Eventually a democrat will get elected. That will mean many tens of thousands of deaths. Ask the Hmong, ask the Israeli, ask the Cubans. Democrats don't care about people dying, or how many they kill, its just part of the cost of being in power. Ask John Effing Kerry.
It's a sobering thought and a great source of sadness for me, but my country, as much as I love it, has a very bad record when it comes to supporting those who trusted their lives on our word.
