The Betrayal of Syria - US, France and Britain’s UN Ambassadors at the United Nations - TruePublica
An ambassador is a … gentleman sent to lie abroad for the good of his country.” (Attributed to Sir Henry Wotton, 1568-1639.)
By Felicity Arbuthnot – When Vitaly
Churkin, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (“We
the people of the United Nations, determined to save succeeding
generations form the scourge of war …”) rose to speak at the UN to
address Syria’s ongoing tragedy, on Sunday 25th September, US Ambassador
to the UN, Samantha Power, François Delattre, Permanent Representative
for France and British Permanent Representative, Matthew Rycroft,
metaphorically threw their toys out of the pram and walked out. Anything
more infantile and further away from the UN’s founding aspirations
would be hard to find.
