00:36: The US vetoed a UN Security council resolution condemning Israel for a retalliatory attack that left 7 UN Relief workers dead.
The US was the main leader of stalwart opponents in a WTO negotiation on relaxation of pharmaceutical patent enforcement within poor nations hoping to deal with health crises like AIDS.
The US government defends its process of detaining middle-eastern immigrants after they show up for voluntary registration, even if they were in the process of formalizing their residency within the country.
The US, while insisting that the world should go to war on Iraq because it has chem-bio weapons, also refuses to let the UN inspectors who are verifying these facts to have the information it says is proof.
All of this in one day.
And we wonder why parts of the world are pissed at us.
