The corrupt despots who run the UN think they can tell the USA what to do
The UN General Assembly on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly for the 16th year in a row in favor of lifting the 45-year-old US trade embargo against communist-ruled Cuba.
By a vote of 184 in favor, four against and one abstention, the 192-member assembly reiterated its "call upon all states to refrain from promulgating and applying laws and measures (such as those in the US embargo) in conformity with their obligations under the Charter of the United Nations and international law."
In a virtual repeat of last year's vote, the United States, Israel, Palau and the Marshall islands voted against the resolution, while Micronesia abstained.
The resolution again urged "states that have and continue to apply such laws and measures to take the necessary steps to repeal or invalidate them as soon as possible in accordance with their legal regime."
The vote came less than a week after US President George W. Bush vowed the US economic sanctions against the Cuba would remain in place.
"As long as the regime maintains its monopoly over the political and economic life of the Cuban people, the United States will keep the embargo in place," Bush said.
What's the matter, United Nondemocracies? Are you afraid that your country will be next? There's no way we are going to lift the embargo. Doing so would show disrespect to the memory of the brave Cubans who have fought the brutal dictatorship in Cuba.
