UNITED NATIONS - The UN General Assembly granted a request from North Korea to hold a moment of silence on Thursday for Kim Jong-il, the country's former leader who died on Saturday, though Western envoys said they would boycott it.

Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, president of the 193-nation General Assembly, said the moment of silence would take place before a meeting of the assembly at 3:00 p.m. EST (2000 GMT) .

UN assembly plans moment of silence for Kim Jong-il,

We really need a United Democratic Nations and to hell with this mob rule UN.

[Uncle Ike]

Any way we can expand that ‘moment of silence’ into a ‘decade of silence’, or even a ‘lifetime vow of silence’???

[lump in the melting pot]

They will hold a moment of silence for that toad, but not for Vaclav Havel. Typical...

[Old Sarge]

I like a symphony of popping champagne corks to mark the occasion.

God forbid they the UN would have a moment of silence for the millions the regime killed or let starve to death.

I wasn’t aware that North Korea was a member of the UN.

IIRC, the Korean was was technically the UN forces vs North Korea.

On the other hand, given the makeup of the UN, I can certainly understand the sorrow felt by the majority of the membership, given the loss of a totalitarian, murderous tyrant.

[Leep]

He was the greatest leader in the world with the possible exception of LBJ,FDR, Lincoln and Obama (who got a Nobel Peace two minutes after becoming President)

[puppypusher]

If we had a UN rep with any gonads they would not enter the General Assembly hall untill the crap honoring that idiot Kim Jong il was over .

[Farmer Dean]

Find a toilet that faces East and you can get a two-fer....

[Dogbert41]

The UN has yet to meet a Communist dictator mass murderer it doesn’t like.

[baiamonte]

Someone needs to tell the UN that old Kim is in hell with Hitler, Stalin, Huessein, Bin Laden, Ted Kennedy, and Gadahfi.

[Psalm 144]

On a lighter note, that moment of silence is the -perfect- time to let one rip.

[headsonpikes]

I’d be happy to observe that moment of silence for Kim and listen for the sound of his distant screams while doing so.

And then have a couple of pops.
