The facts on this issue, however, seem to be a bit at variance with what passes for moonbat wisdumb. Observe the following from today's online edition of the hardly right-wing Times of London:
China and Russia last night thwarted a year-long diplomatic drive by Britain to impose United Nations sanctions on the perpetrators in of the violence in the Darfur province of Sudan.Thwarted by lefties and their media buddies who have systematically engineered the available news to drag Bush down in the polls since his overwhelming 2004 victory, the Bushies no longer have the base, frankly, to take dramatic and necessary action in either Iran or Darfur (which, not coincidentally, harbors plenty of Islamic terrorists who are happy to practice jihad by offing Christian animists). Consequently, they are forced to labor in the fruitless vineyards of the U.N., an organization that, by contrast, makes the U.S. Senate seem lightning fast when it comes to making decisions.
The two powers, joined by Qatar, used their position on a UN sanctions committee to block the imposition of a UN travel ban and asset freeze on four unnamed Sudanese, including one government official, proposed by Britain.
The United States, which backed the British initiative, reacted angrily by threatening to call a public vote of the 15-nation Security Council that would force Russia and China into making a formal veto.
The Times further notes:
The Security Council voted a year ago to impose sanctions on individuals responsible for the violence in Darfur, where Janjaweed Arab militia have made two million black villagers homeless since 2003.When you read stuff like this, it just makes you want to donate the U.N. building and the valuable land it's on to Donald Trump so he can do something useful with the property.
Details like those presented in the Times' report, however, will never be persuasive to the likes of Maryscott, who inhabit a virtual space not unlike Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone."
