The Triumph Of Touchy-Feeliness
Yay! Yay! Thrice yay!
America has rejoined the UNHRC, safe in the knowledge that her very presence and niceness alone will be enough to convince murderous leaders of the errors of their ways.
Surely it is now only a matter of time before President Obama nices the world’s dictators, tyrants and despots into line.
He will grin and he will laugh and he will bump fists and then all will be well.
Except…
Aren’t Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China also members?
And wasn’t it created in 2006 to replace a body whose vast uselessness it is quickly replicating?
And hasn’t it done almost nothing since then except to focus obsessively on Israel (at the expense of places like Darfur)?
Whoops, there I go again – being all realistic really does ruin the hope’n'change.
