Neocons shudder in collective groans as the UN keeps right chugging along oblivious to right winged idiocy
Rush Limbaugh was reported as saying :
"Harrrr fill me fat gob with Burgers and lard arrrr!"
| Quote: | UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -- The U.N. General Assembly is marking its first-ever commemoration of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps as a reminder that the evil of mass murder still threatened the world, Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said.
Monday's special session -- at which the foreign ministers of Israel, Germany, France, Argentina, Armenia, Canada and Luxembourg, representing the European Union, are scheduled to speak -- is a memorial to the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the largest death camp.
Jorge Semprun, a survivor of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, addresses the session as the representative of Spain's Foreign Ministry.
Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, will lead the U.S. delegation, Italy is sending its speaker of the senate and Russia, whose troops freed Auschwitz at the end of World War II in 1945, is to be represented by its human rights commissioner.
"The evil that destroyed 6 million Jews, and others, in those camps is one that still threatens all of us today," Annan said. "It is not something we can consign to the distant past and forget about it."
Between 1 million and 1.5 million prisoners, most of them Jews, were killed in Auschwitz alone, dying in gas chambers or of starvation and disease.
