The UN Delivers

We should all applaud the firm stand taken by Russia, China and Iran in the Security Council against the scoundrel plan  designed to  denounce the Syrian government´s use of chemical weapons against its own people in the horror of the civil war. Their vote reminds us all that no popular actions against an established government are to be tolerated be they in Lhasa, Gorki, Aleppo, or Gaza.  Our very troubled world can sleep peacefully tonight knowing that the Security Council again has gone on record to defend human rights and to offer examples of states like Syria that take those rights as their core obligation.
