  • Which universal principles would you like?

    The ones that appoint Syria and Libya to the UN human rights commission? The one where Sudan successfully deflects all attempts to stop them from killing their own people en masse? The principles that allow western progressives to defend Iran's hanging of children in public w/o so much as a 'trial'? The universal principles of FARCoterrorism?

    Seriously, I'd like to know which of those wondrous universal principles we need to implement?
