There have been a lot of questions about the relevancy of the U.N. lately. You have to wonder then, why they would elect Cuba to the Human Rights Commission, just weeks after they rounded up and jailed 'dissidents', and executed three hijackers that tried to escape the Communist regime. Earlier this month, Cuba was emboldened when the U.N. HRC voted not to admonish them for the executions and jailings. Now the U.N. has gone so far as to reward Cuba with a seat on the very commission that should be raising ire. With the proverbial 'nuts running the asylum', how can the U.N. garner any respect.

If there was any remaining doubt about the relevance of the U.N., keep in mind that this is the same U.N. Human Rights Commission that is led by Libya. For the record, just last month Libya reached a settlement for the Pan Am Flight 103 Lockerbie terrorist attack. It is pretty clear that both Castro and Qadhafi know all about violating human rights.

This actually proves to be a very good example about the dangers of democracy and majority rule. Majority rule (or mob rule) tends to lend credibility to otherwise immoral actions. To some people, violating the rights of the individual seems to be ok as long as we vote on it first. Countries like Cuba and Libya voting on what is or is not a human rights violation, is akin to having convicted axe murderers sit on the Scott Peterson jury. Of course, that would be something the U.N. and other socialists would hold up as a shining example of democracy in action.

Day after day, the idea of pulling out of the U.N. and kicking them out of the U.S. seems more and more rational.
