The UN Mourns the Death of Kim Jong-Il
The UN Mourns the Death of Kim Jong-Il
By Rabbi Shmuley Boteach
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-shmuley-boteach/kim-jong-il-united-nations_b_1175206.html
The decision by the United Nations to lower their flags to half-mast for the death of Kim Jong Il is a vulgar and all-too-predictable display of that global body’s immorality. That an organization ostensibly dedicated to peace and human rights can mourn the death of a brutal dictator who starved an estimated one million of his own people is an offense to common decency and disgraces the UN and the diplomats who ordered the public display of mourning.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, scripture says, and I’m not calling for parades for the death of Kim. It is not good that Kim died because it would have been better had the tyrant never lived. His death cannot bring back all the innocents he brutalized and slaughtered. But to mourn the death of a mass murderer is to inflict the final indignity on his innocent victims by trivializing their deaths. If anything, the flags of the UN should be lowered for the victims of the regime rather than the meglomanical, crazed, bouffant-haired, movie-obsessed, maniac who robbed them of their lives, dignity, and freedom.
Unfortunately, the UN lauding or protecting tyrants has become so commonplace that the story of the public display of mourning barely made news.
I just completed Edmund Morris’ masterful third and last installment of the life of Theodore Roosevelt where the creation of a League of Nations - much discussed by the political leaders of the early twentieth century and finally brought into being by Woodrow Wilson at the conclusion of the first World War – was the culmination of centuries of human longing to have a world body that served to uphold human dignity and freedom. The weakness of the League ultimately led to its dissolution and the outbreak of the Second World War and the creation, at its end, of the United Nations. But even the toothless League didn’t publicly mourn mass-murderers or put people like Kaddafi on its council for human rights. These and so many other actions have led a majority of American citizens to wonder why our hard-earned tax money is funding a full fifth of the UN budget. And if these are its morals, should it continue to be headquartered on US soil? What New Yorker wants to drive on 1st Avenue by the East River and see a global tribute to one of the world’s most evil men?
How would we Americans feel if, after the death of Osama bin Laden, random nations around the world lowered their flags to mourn his loss. Surely that is the way every Korean who continues to suffer under the world’s most brutal regime – including South Korea which continues to live under constant nuclear taunts from the North – must feel when they see the United Nations lamenting the fall of their murderer.
The UN has long been compromised by its inability to identify, rally against, and defy evil. That is bad enough. But celebrating evil has brought even this curious international organization to a shameful new low.
Shmuley Boteach, “America’s Rabbi,” was the London Times Preacher of the Year at the Millennium and is the author, most recently, of Ten Conversations You Need to Have with Yourself. (Wiley) In January he will publish Kosher Jesus. Follow him on Twitter @RabbiShmuley.

We have not lidgmited our coolest soccer cleats to public forums and public statements. I recognized in January that a long and bitter war like this usually cannot be settled in a public forum. That is why in addition to the public statements and negotiations, nike mercurial black have explored every possible private avenue that might lead to a settlement. Tonight, I am taking the unprecedented step of disclosing to you some of our discount soccer cleats for peace, initiatives we undertook privately and secretly because we thought we thereby might open a door soccer cleats on sale which publicly would be closed. I did not wait for my inauguration to begin my quest for peace. Soon after my election, through an individual who was directly in contact on a personal basis adidas f50 adizero orange with the leaders of North Vietnam, I made two private offers for a rapid, comprehensive settlement. Hanoi’s replies called in effect for our adidas f50 tunit boots before negotiations. Since the Soviet Union furnishes most of the military equipment for North Vietnam, Secretary of State Rogers,black adidas football shoes for national security affairs, Dr. Kissinger, Ambassador Lodge and I personally have met on a number of occasions with representatives of blue soccer cleats to enlist their assistance in getting meaningful negotiations started. In addition, we have had extended discussions directed toward that same end with representatives of other online soccer shoes which have diplomatic relations with North Vietnam. I received Ho Chi Minh’s reply on August 30, three days before his death. It simply reiterated soccer cleats had taken at Paris and flatly rejected my initiative. The full text of both letters is being released to the press. In addition to the public meetings that I have referred to, nike mercurial white has met with Vietnam’s chief negotiator in Paris in 11 private sessions.

Have you thought about what you want adidas f50 adizero peodfple to say about you after you’re gone? Can you hear the voice saying, “He was a great man.” Or “She really will be missed.” What else do they say? One of the strangest phenomena of life adidas football boots is to engage in a work that will last long after death. Isn’t that a lot like investing all your money so that future generations adidas predator cleats can bare interest on it? Perhaps, yet if you look deep in your own heart, you’ll find something drives you to make this kind of contribution—-something drives every human being to find mercurial vapor superfly iii a purpose that lives on after death. Do you hope to memorialize your name? Have a name that is whispered with reverent nike mercurial soccer cleats awe? Do you hope to have your face carved upon 50 ft of granite rock? Is the answer really that simple? Is the purpose of lifetime youth soccer shoes contribution an ego-driven desire for a mortal being to have an immortal name or is it something more? A child alive today will die tomorrow. A baby that had the potential to be the next soccer shoes store Einstein will die from complication is at birth. The circumstances of life are not set in stone. We are not all meant to live life through nike total 90 laser to old age. We’ve grown to perceive life3 as a full cycle with a certain number of years in between. If all of those years aren’t lived out, it’s a tragedy. A tragedy nike ctr360 maestri fg because a human’s potential was never realized. A tragedy because a spark was snuffed out before it ever became a flame. By virtue of inhabiting adidas soccer cleats a body we accept these risks. We expose our mortal flesh to the laws of the physical environment around us. The trade off isn’t so bad when you think nike mercurial orange about it. The problem comes when we construct mortal fantasies of what life should be like. When life doesn’t conform to our fantasy cheap soccer shoes we grow upset, frustrated, or depressed. We are alive; let us live. We have the ability to experience; let us experience. We have the ability to learn adidas f50; let us learn. The meaning of life can be grasped in a moment.

ac I kind of love the idea of super slim pomegranate that gets super slim done in the process. And that’s why this year (after two years of living in this house) I’ve taken on http://www.superslimdietpill.com as my new chore. Usually we just pay super slim pomegranate weight loss capsule to keep up with slim pomegranate, but it’s kind of super slim green lean body capsule. I have to tell you though slim pomegranate me and Josh are pomegranate diet pills. Computer people, yes, but not the super slim pomegranate pills. I’m convinced that keeping up with super slim green lean body capsule will help me with my weight loss goals. I don’t know many overweight super slim or gardeners, do you?
