79. I was hoping the Iran PM would interrupt with questions from the floor:
"Are you going to invade us or not? Are you going to slaughter our people or not? Are you going to torture our people or not? Are you going to destroy our country the way you destroyed Iraq or not?"

And then Iraq PM would join in, and ask: "Where is the electricity? Where are the schools? Where is the safety of the streets? Where is civil order? What did Halliburton DO with all that money you handed them by the truckloads? What kind of people ARE you?"

And then the Afghan PM (he was there) would ask: "Why did you forget about us? Why can't I travel anywhere outside Kabul? What about the Taliban resurgence, and the poppy trade resurgence, while you have wasted all these lives and resources in Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, and that we all know posed no threat?"

And then the Venezuelan ambassador would rise and ask: "Why are you pouring money illegally into political campaigns against our government? Why did you applaud the attempted military coup? What are your designs upon Venezuela?"

And then all the representatives of the world's nations would rise as one, and ask: "How dare you come here and preach to us--you who torture and kill, you who lied to us, you who despise international law, you who would destroy the United Nations if you could? How dare you?! You can barely muster the support of forty-percent of your people--how about we investigate your so-called elections, hypocrite?!"

And they would jeer him off the stage and pelt him with rotten fruit.

Ah, me. Well, polite applause is almost as damning.
