Now That's Some Conference

Have you ever heard of the UN Conference on Disarmament?  Not many people have.  It's one of those UN organizations that don't really do much at all.  Nevertheless, it has made its way into the news now because next month, the chairmanship of the Conference will go to Syria's Assad regime.  That's right, the world's biggest user of banned chemical weapons is about to chair the UN Conference on Disarmament.  The regime responsible for killing over 400,000 of its own civilians with all sorts of weapons is going to lead the effort to do away with weapons.  One does have to wonder what will be next.  Will Iran be appointed head of global anti-terrorism efforts?  Will the Maduro regime in Venezuela head the worldwide effort to spread democracy? 

One thing you have to say about the UN:  it's an organization that knows no shame.
