The UN General Assembly this year is hotter than fish grease on a Saturday night in South Central L.A. I've covered these events over the course of my career, and after all these years, there appears to be no solutions on the horizon. It's just what it is.
This week, I watched King Abdulla of Jordan give a passionate speech to the UN General Assembly with eloquence and sincere empathy for the Palestinian people who have been abandoned by the world community for decades. And his most devastating accusatory tone was simply this: How long will the world allow an unabated inhuman bloodletting to continue against a people forced to resist against a force of unbridled evil supported by a partner in its genocidal crimes, happily providing the instruments of death and destruction to prolong the pain and anguish of those who only offence is the audacity to desire to be free.
Even as a descendant of slaves, I am ashamed today to have enjoyed the fruits of freedom while others are still suffering this level of dehumanization in a world that humanity has decided to ignore. Perhaps that's why I've concluded there must be more than one "God" because the one the world is waiting for is not one I could ever have faith in.
Bottom line: I know my rant may be considered blasphemous, but two thousand years is too long to wait for changing the hearts of the heartless. So, I'll simply have to take my chances that the "God" I yearn for will forgive me for being impatient.

C-Ya'll Monday (Hopefully with some good news)
By the way, King Abdullah of Jordan is one Cool Dude! Bravo Bro.
