A wise man once said clean your own house before you look at others. Where was U.N when the prisoners where being tortured. Guess U.N is supposed to keep an eye on the warning nations as to what treatment is met to prisoners.

The american philosophy is this: you do as I say but not as I do. Not having condemn those CIA murderers is not a surprise. The western nation's type of justice like that phony International Tribunal of The Hague is a shame. Not a single french, english or american officer who has practiced torture has ever been prosecuted... Consequently, Iran, North-Korea or any other country not particularly appreciated by the West; who fear for its safety cannot trust the global institutions manipulated by America. They have the right to possess nuclear arms since Israel has them. Please, tell me: what concret action has that man taken, except a smile to Iran, a pad on the back to Mr Chavez, a good word for Cuba and a hand-shake to Mr Medvedev...How many nuclear weapons has-he destroyed; how many military bases set-up all over the world has-he closed; how many nuclear-submarines has-he retired and when will his missiles defence-shield be scrapped ? Like were his predecessors, that man is a joke; even at à time when his country is in a desperate situation. Sorry Futur Generations ! Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin Tel: +33450240275
