Note
UN General Assembly President Jan Eliasson says on the one hand there is the United States, with its "hard position" and on the other hand there are the Islamic countries with their "hard position." Take a closer look at exactly why the UN General Assembly once again failed to adopt a comprehensive convention against terrorism this year. A U.S. hard position that blowing up civilians in the name of self-determination really is terrorism. The Organization of Islamic Conference hard position that it's all in a day's struggle. The particularly outrageous part is that Sweden's former Ambassador Eliasson thinks there's a middle ground.
