An institution that...would permit iraq, a terrorist state that refuses to disarm, to become soon the chair of the united nations commission on disarmament, and which recently elected libya - a terrorist state - to chair the united nations commission on human rights of all things, seems not to be even struggling to regain credibility. that these acts of irresponsibility could happen now, at this moment in history, is breathtaking.

An Institution That...would Permit Iraq, A Terrorist

More From Donald Rumsfeld

Well, this is an unfortunate part of the un institution. it's the - the theater of the absurd. it doesn't only cast israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: gadhafi's libya chaired the un commission on human rights; saddam's iraq headed the un committee on disarmament.
Real Iraq Rights
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.
Men Rights Forever
I made a movie to explain to the american public what had been achieved in regards to disarmament of iraq and why inspectors aren't in iraq today and detailing the very complex, murky history of interaction between iraq, the united nations and the united states. it is most definitely not a pro-iraq movie. it is a pro-truth movie.

There is no scientific antidote, only education. you've got to change the way people think. i am not interested in disarmament talks between nations . . . what i want to do is to disarm the mind. after that, everything else will automatically follow. the ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.
Thinking People Mind
Faced with the potential of mass atrocities and a call for help from the libyan people, the united states and our friends and allies stopped gadhafi's forces in their tracks. a coalition that included the united states, nato and arab nations persevered to protect libyan civilians. so this is a momentous day in the history of libya. the dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted, and with this enormous promise the libyan people now have a great responsibility: to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to gadhafi's dictatorship.
Responsibility Dark People
The government of libya announced the death of moammar gadhafi. this marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of libya, who now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny in a new and democratic libya. the gadhafi regime ruled the libyan people with an iron fist. the enormous potential of the libyan people was held back and terror was used as a political weapon. the last major regime strongholds have fallen. the new government is consolidating the control over the country. and one of the world's longest-serving dictators is no more.

Our efforts will only be effective if ordinary citizens in other countries have confidence that the united states respects their privacy too. and the leaders of our close friends and allies deserve to know that if i want to learn what they think about an issue, i will pick up the phone and call them, rather than turning to surveillance.
