UN Honors Racist Dictator Who Boils People Alive With
"Cultural Diversity" Award

Progressives and liberals who view the United Nations as a kinder, gentler alternative to domination of the geopolitical spectrum by Neo-Cons, should pay attention to this one - a top UN agency has bestowed a cultural diversity award upon Islam Karimov, the Uzbek dictator who likes to boil people alive.
MosNews reports,
"UNESCO Director-General Koichiro Matsuura personally gave Karimov the award in Tashkent on September 8 for the Uzbek president’s contribution to “strengthening friendship and cooperation between the nations, development of cultural and religious dialogue, and supporting cultural diversity.” Rights organizations have long branded Karimov a gross violator of human rights.
