Journalistic Malpractice

Today, I read incredulously the editorial comments of the Financial Times, "Time to muzzle Libya's mad dog: United Nations should impose a no-fly zone without delay," (February 25). FT wrote, "The UN should be ready to protect the oil installations if Col. Gaddafi starts to destroy them."

In what reality does the Editorial Board of the Financial Times live (in)? When has the UN conducted a successful campaign? Just ask the folks in Rwanda, Srebrenica (Bosnia), and Congo, what UN interventions did for them. Or, Kosovo Serbs being murdered and their organs removed by Bill and Hillary Clinton's "Albanian freedom fighters," under UN protection. And these are only a few examples.

While Col. Gaddafi is slaughtering his countrymen in the streets of Libya, the UN is passing yet another condemnation of Israel. As others have pointed out, 'this sanctimonious babbling mess (UN) is incapable of meaningful intervention.'

In closing, if the Financial Times was a physician, it would be sued for malpractice and have its license revoked. This is journalistic malpractice!
