This is the same UN that keeps forcing Tokelau to declare independence even though it doesn't want to, the same UN that expelled the United States from the Human Rights Commission while leaving Red China, Zimbabwe, Russia, Saudi Arabia and others on it, the same UN that abused the Oil-for-Food Program so blatantly, the same UN that has soldiers raping women in the Congo, and the same UN that has failed in preventing any war and has harmfully prolonged dozens of conflicts.

So who's surprised they put Iran on the Commission on Women's Rights?

Not surprised at all, sad to say. Sadder still will be the inevitable support that pops up in the forum...

You guys are just jealous

...maybe they expelled you because you occupied a foreign country without their permission

"Iran's election comes just a week after one of its senior clerics declared that women who wear revealing clothing are to blame for earthquakes, a statement that created an international uproar — but little affected their bid to become an international arbiter of women's rights."

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," said the respected cleric, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi."

:D I was following the cleric's line of reasoning up until the last part, but then he lost me.

*cough*Tibet*cough

Unfortunately for the cleric, the Boobquake expirement sponsored out of Purdue was a complete failure....but much cleavage was to be had on the evening news.

that second quote is hilarious Hunter. hahahaha, love it.

And yeah the UN is pretty much a joke. It doesn't really do anything very well, and it most definitely isn't the reason that we haven't had a major war since WWII. The reason for the lack of war in the past half-decade has, instead, been the invention of Nuclear Weapons; the very things that we are trying to eliminate. Kind of ironic.
