The American president?

By William Katz

"The United States has announced that it will report its own human-rights failings to the United Nations, in particular the UN’s Human Rights Council, half of whose members are degenerate dictatorships.

Last Friday the secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, phoned the Israeli prime minister to berate him over the ill-timed announcement of some housing in East Jerusalem. The secretary’s language was reported to be severe, even unprecedented.

A few weeks ago, Clinton insulted the British by suggesting that the United Kingdom and Argentina negotiate over the future of the Falklands, even though it is established British policy never to negotiate over the sovereignty of those islands. The fact that the secretary would place Argentina on the same level as Britain stunned Whitehall, which has generally assumed the United States to be an ally."
