U.S denies visa to Hamid Abutalebi, Iranian choice for U.N Ambassador

Hopefully the UN votes to move to Geneva, or something. I am sick of the UN voting on powerless, anti American " you" votes on American soil.

That would be a good decision if the US refuses to respect its legal obligations as host.

The outrage over this is making me chuckle.... the man stormed an embassy and took the civilians inside hostage for over a year

If he was involved, then he's a horrible person. Still don't see how that's relevant.

Murder is indefensible.

This is very defensible.

No one is being killed because of this policy. No one is being physically harmed in any way because of it.

The only thing being hurt is the feelings of people who hate America.

In reality, it's the conditionless pro-Americanism that is the only attempted justification for this. It amounts to: "Because we can".

Sure, that's basically what American foreign policy in general amounts to...but at least don't pretend to be the victim.
