Taken at face value, this comment is worth the bits it takes to store. Attacks like these are as indefensible as they are ridiculous.

The UN does bad things (Human Rights/Hipocracy Commission), but it does many good things (how about it's Secretary General going on Sesame Street and telling children how important it is to get along, for one).

The irony couldn't be more striking.
