What Would Muammar Do?

Actually the question is "What Will Muammar Do?" For an organization - the UN - that is screaming for credibility, this is a wonderful opportunity for them to regain the high moral ground by opposing a blatant violation of human rights.

Libya is now the head of the UN Human Rights Commission. They have declared the US to be a violator because we allow executions - after due process. I doubt that we've executed anyone in less than one year from the date of sentencing. Cuba executed these three nine days after the crime. Trial, sentencing, appeals and execution in less than a fortnight.

Will this be acceptable to Muammar? Is nine days in a dictatorship better than nine years in a democracy? Inquiring minds want to know!

This is the perfect opportunity for the UN to start on the long road to rebuilding credibility. The UN is supposed to be impartial and dedicated the protection of human rights anywhere in the world. I'm waiting to hear a harsh and immediate condemnation of one dictator by another. It's time to decide. What will Muammar do?
