1. The UN clown
julio ,   Fort Lauderdale USA   (03.18.09)
My only sorrow is that the UN headquarter building is in New York. What if we let this bastards destroy their own country with their negative politics and not give a hoot ?. How about him going back to NIcaragua with new eye glasses to see the misery their ideals create
2. when hitler...
ghostq   (03.18.09)
said the same words as the persian monkey the europians ignor saying the very same thing "just talk" but reality has said otherwise, Miguel is a fool not realizing that, did someone say a second holocaust is coming???
3. Invite him to live in Sderot
Daniel ,   Israel   (03.18.09)
allot him an apartment without bomb shelter for 15 days, all paid visit including his salary of 1 month, and insurance in case he has any family behind.
4. Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting ...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.18.09)
Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law. Throwing an economic lifeline to a terror-sponsoring regime dedicated to the acquisition of nuclear weapons capability would be nothing short of diplomatic malpractice on a Carter-esque scale. Not only has the Islamic Republic squandered billions on nuclear weapons, destabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan, and sponsoring terrorism, but it has also pitched itself to countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Sudan and Senegal as a pillar of an ideology that will defeat liberal Western democracy. Nothing would be a more powerful signal to those applauding Ahmadinejad's rhetoric than watching the Islamic Republic collapse under the weight of its own follies.

5. The US should stop funding the UN !
Eagerwatcher ,   London - UK   (03.18.09)
The US funds an organization that mostly detests it, and would love to destroy it. The UN is no longer necessary because world leaders are in constant contact with each other via phone and video conferencing and even email. In the same way that Muslims world wide are using democracies against their host countries, the majority of UN members use the UN against the ones that finance it. They laugh and sneer at democracies and they are right to do so because the US and others allow themselves to be exploited. Jane
6. Surprised He's Catholic !
Gad ben Shalom ,   Jerusalem   (03.18.09)
What else is new coming out of Catholic's Mouths . They are following the same line they did in 1938 when ordered to do so by the Pope . Its only to protect the "Church"
7. where some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed.
Daniel ,   Israel   (03.18.09)
Does he expect the reverse ratio? 13 Israelis are killed in deliberate attack. 1,400 Palestinians are killed in retaliation. Those idiots are very happy that more of their people are killed; since they receive more aid for more casualties on their side! This is why more people are exposed to Israeli attack (Why Palestanian general public don't understand this! And Why you forget that?) Israel receives nothing except abuses!
8. Americans and the UN
NYC Girl   (03.18.09)
A poll was taken just recently, but prior to the Ban Ki Moon accusation that the U.S. is a deadbeat, and the results showed that by more than 60%, Americans feel we should pull out of the UN. And while this does include those who have been intractibly opposed to the UN for decades, it reflects a growing disgust with UN corruption and lack of effectiveness. Now, of course, the question is whether these negative perceptions will translate into any sort of action, and the answer, unfortunately, is not likely.
9. Curious name: d'ESCROTO.......... Hummmm
Narah Correa ,   BRASIL   (03.18.09)
10. Brockmann
David Cohen ,   china   (03.18.09)
what would u expect from such a filth with a name like Brockmann. 2 "N". not hard to guess where he comes from. and he is a Priest! what does he preach, this shmuk. Where is the Pope when he is needed to excommunicate the nazis from his flock?
11. UN is a useless body; dismental it.
Daniel ,   Israel   (03.18.09)
They hear cries of Palestinians They don't hear blasted busses in Israel! They hear Israeli attacks They don't hear Ahamadinijad's threats! They encourage wiping Israel from the map [by not saying a word about it]! They cannot tolerate Israel holding an inch of Palestine!
12. d"Escoto with his arm around
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.18.09)
Ahmadinejad. It's disgusting. We might consider leaving the U.N. temporarily until his time is up.
13. Noticed that NOTHING coming from the UN is EVER pro-Israel?
L ,   Israel   (03.18.09)
The UN is a joke, teeming with "Organization On Islamic Conference"-bought puppets. See this, it's scarily funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIq7tsVvEoY Watch Pat Condell's other stuff too. Great stuff.
14. A Roman Catholic from a banana republic?
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.18.09)
The answer lies here. dubdubdub.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Roman%20Catholicism/catholic_church_is_a_big_hoax.htm
15. To Miguel d'Escoto: Hitler didn't kill - his words did!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.18.09)
If you really believe what you have said then you are an ignorant fool! Your stupidity is further illustrated by your ignorance about Apartheid! Did you ever go to South Africa under the "Apartheid Regime"? I grew up under that abominable system! The Israeli Arabs have full Civil Rights, have the right to vote and do. They have all the rights and obligations that any Israel has and they are the same rights afforded anyone who live in a democracy. There is no resemblance to South Africa in any way! The Palestinians who you so arduously support chose the way of violence and terror long before the "Occupation" which was the result of their hatred and warped ideology against Israel and the Jewish People! The Palestinians have missed many opportunities due their hate and violence and yes, Israel does hit back VERY hard. Israel has the right to defend its citizens or ALL creeds just as any other country has. It is obvious that you are a bigot and or an anti-Semite and you should be removed from your position as President of the UN General Assembly. You remarks about the President of Sudan certainly prove your unsuitability!
16. Please Mr Miguel d'Escoto
Avi ,   Rannana   (03.18.09)
Could when you go and inspect Irans nuclear plant if you could wear a Bright colored shirt with a big target design on it, as it will help our missile guidence systems home on on you !
17. If he "loves", imagine what he would say
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.18.09)
and do if he hated us? This moron is a Jew hater to the core. He is an idiot from a little insignificant country that as too much to say.
18. D'Escoto needs to go back to school
EST ,   Miami USA   (03.18.09)
Maybe someone will read to him the stages of genocide. Words DO kill! "Israel needs to be wiped off the face of the earth" are clearly genocidal provoking words. D"Escoto, obviously is an anti-Semite. He is a moron and needs to be removed from any public position where he is more harmful than anything else.
19. D'Escoto & Williamson:
Joe ,   France   (03.18.09)
A new breed of roman catholic crusaders?
20. Exterminate all Iranians everywhere
Steve from Raleigh   (03.18.09)
Those are just words. Words I hope are repeated a billion times.
21. Much thanks, #13
Cameron ,   USA   (03.18.09)
That Youtube clip featuring Pat Condell offered up as blunt & honest a take on Islamic behavior and intent in relation to the West, as I think I may ever have heard. Was not aware of Condell up to this point, but I like his vibe, and will keep an eye on that cat from now on. Good discovery to come across!
22. Steve # 20 and his words
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.18.09)
Why on earth would you wish something like that? There are a lot of good Iranian people. I've liked every one of the few I have met. They are stuck with a bad government like many people are but to paint them all with the same brush is wrong. You should bite your tounge.
23. #18
Persian TARSIER ,   Tohooroon   (03.18.09)
D'Escoto already had his schooling and does not need any more. You cannot imagine what schooling did he went through. He can teach already, and, probably, does. Harsh, intensive, productive KGB school. I wonder what his ranks? Did he get his general's stars? Or he is still vegetates as major-lieutenant-colonel stuff? Hence all the fervor.
24. The man speaks the truth ....
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.18.09)
"But he said that won't keep him from criticizing Israeli actions, especially in the recent war in Gaza where some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed." I agree with d'Escoto 100%. I, too, am critical of Israeli actions in the recent Gaza operation because 13 Israeli soldiers died needlessly. You are correct, "Father" d'Escoto; Israel deserves to be criticized for not having conducted a Dresden-like operation in Gaza. Every Israeli mourns the 13 soldiers who wiould not have died had Israel approached the Gaza problem the way every other country on this planet would have. That would have put paid to the missiles, the tunneling, the sabotage attempts and the interference with Israeli border patrols forevermore.
25. Damned right!
Brad ,   USA   (03.18.09)
At least someone over here will demonize Iran. If not, then I certainly will. Iran is run by a lot of pus-headed, cowardly, mama's boys. They are a threat to the lives of the innocent in the middle east. Iran is a disease. Their absence is the cure. By the way, that goes for their stinking islam as well.
