That's funny.

The Libyan candidate, long-time diplomat and former journalist Najat al-Hajjaji, won 33 votes in a secret ballot of the 53-nation United Nations Human Rights Commission, with 17 states abstaining and three voting against her as Washington had recommended.

Okay, so, who voted against and why were there only THREE votes against?

The decision on Monday comes despite objections from the United States and other Western nations about the country's poor record on civil liberties and its alleged role in sponsoring terrorism.

She's from Libya. She MUST be evil.

Strange, only two other countries voted with the US, assuming that ONE of those THREE votes was cast by the US. or is that a bad assumption. :)

Further illustration that your black & white view is NOT shared by very many other people in the world.

Why don't you go down that list and find out who you THINK voted against her.

The look at all of the other names that are "western democracies" and try to figure out why they did NOT vote against her.

:)
