It is a BBC meme that the UN = force for good. Meanwhile, on Planet Reality, the rest of us see it as an anti-Semitic US-hating tyranny loving moral cesspit providing jobs for the boys – especially if your name is Annan. But rather like Rwanda, Sudan is one of those names that instantly conjures up images of sustained UN failure, genocide is such a pesky irritation for grand-standing Internationalists, Yet amazingly, in this report, the UN praises itself and this is essentially a UN press release masquerading as news.
Interestingly in a news report about Darfur today, the BBC completely failed to mention that those committing genocide were Arab Moslems and that the victims were black Moslems. So perhaps those Moslems in Luton who demonstrated against British troops are unaware that their Moslems brothers in Darfur are being massacred by Arab Moslems, which is why they don’t demonstrate outside the Sudanese embassy.
I think this proves yet again that Moslems are simply looking for reasons to hate non-Moslems. If they were genuinely concerned about the fate of Moslems in other parts of the world, they would be condemning Sudan. As it is, the massacre of Moslems at the hands of other Moslems leaves them cold.

Sadly David, most of “the rest of us” do think the UN is the answer to everything, thanks in large part to the BBC. Planet Reality is inhabited by a minority.

Wow, I thought I’d written that one.
Do you think there’s a social conservative style, and I’ve been copying it all along?
Spooky.
North Northwester,
Who knows?
The UN will be all over the Sudan as soon as they can work out a semi-plausible way of blaming dem wascally Joos
You’re right David, every report which mentions the UN should include the description that it’s ‘an anti-Semitic US-hating tyranny loving moral cesspit’.
Afterall, that’s how ‘the rest of us see it’. And you speak for?
And you speak for?
Well me, for one.
I assume you speak for the anti-Semitic US-hating tyranny loving moral cesspit?
You’re not doing a very good job.

Where did DV say that any UN report must include that description? He didn’t, of course. He was pointing out the difference between the BBC’s opinion and that of so many other people.
You are reacting to your own imagination. Your personal vendetta against David Vance is getting really, really boring. Don’t you have anything better to do?
Oh, no. I hope I didn’t anger you in any way. I do hope I didn’t make you so upset that you’ll now threaten to leave and deprive us of your pearls of wisdom if you aren’t allowed to make baseless attacks on David Vance.
@Preiser
The anon from the “one week after” thread is me, -not- the guy above. I would hope you would be able to distinguish rather more reason in my postings when/if you come across them.
Now who am I? Spooky…

Why should anyone bother to distinguish your postings at all if you can’t be bothered to distinguish yourself with a pseudonym?

‘If an anonymous tree fell in the for..’ oh, who can even be bothered?
TOM… the camera may now be able to tell whatever story one wishes, but nothing like a good eye and a better angle:)

Well quite – that’s rather the point isn’t it. In this case, attempting to infer a history from an anon comment has led to 2+2=at least 6. As said before, play the idea and not the man.
Anonymous,
Your comments are useless anyway. You haven’t actually engaged in any debate about BBC bias, so there are no “ideas” to play. All you’ve done is play childish games.
Your whole claim about your need to be Anonymous is baseless anyway, since you can post under an alias without surrendering your name or email or precious bodily fluids to anyone. Select “Name/URL”, and you can enter an actual alias like an adult, without having to register or surrender any precious private information.
Or, you can just carry through with your threat to go away and deprive us of….um…something. We don’t actually know, since it’s all anonymous.

Well said. I don’t even bother to read the sill “Anon” postings. They should grow up and get a life, or lives
Silly “Anon” postings !
