How can the US claim to be a leader in human rights when it ignores the majority of nations on Earth that do not carry out executions?

Fair point.  But on the plus side, the US also just told Israel what they can do with their illegal, inhumane settlements.  I would rather have had a 'no' vote than an abstention, but it's still good when someone has the balls to remind Israel that not everything they do is right.

Well, that security council resolution at least passed, the next US President notwithstanding!!
