UNITED NATIONS – A little more than a week after accusing Iran of supplying arms for Syrias bloody crackdown on democracy-minded rebels, the UN has given Tehran a key seat at negotiations for a global arms treaty.
The stunning appointment by member states attending the UN Conference of the Arms Trade Treaty in New York came last week, and is just the latest example of the world body appointing rogue and repressive regimes to leadership roles. The 15-nation committee to which Iran was appointed hopes to guide what could eventually become the first legally binding global treaty aimed at regulating the international trade of conventional arms.
Critics say asking Iran to help craft a treaty aimed at stopping arms proliferation to terrorist groups and rogue states makes a mockery of the talks. Just two weeks ago, the UN Security Council accused Tehran of shipping arms to Syria, and Iran is also suspected of hiding illegal nuclear weapons facilities from international watchdogs.“It defies logic, morality and common sense for the UN to elect this same regime to a global post in the regulation of arms transfers.”- UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer
“Right after a UN Security Council report found Iran guilty of illegally transferring guns and bombs to Syria, which is now murdering thousands of its own people, it defies logic, morality and common sense for the UN to elect this same regime to a global post in the regulation of arms transfers,” UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer told FoxNews.com.

Definately not a downer epdoise . Personal testimony is a powerful thing. If only more christians would be honest and share the truth about thier struggles in Christ. Porn is a big problem today especially since the internet has come about. I wanted to suggest that if you make a video addressing the porn issue that you include something concerning mastubation and oral sex being considered sodomy or not. There is a debate to define what sodomy really is. Sodomy laws seem to have been derived from men and their personal opinions or feelings about sexual relations in the marriage bed. Where does our God given freedom in the marriage bed begin and end. Is it wrong for a wife to massage her husband or maybe to kiss or lick him in the areas that they so desire. What about kissing? Is it wrong to kiss with your tongues (French kiss)? Is it wrong to engage in to any sort of foreplay that is intended to arouse or satisfy your spouse other than the the act of vaginal intercourse and getting right to the procreative process? No hands? Just stick it in, get your business done and pull out? Some people have more enjoyable sex after they have been aroused before hand. Is it not considered natural use to have sex with your wife while she is pregnant because she cannot be re-fertilized? Or maybe if you or your wife have been injured and are not able to conceive children, than it would be considered unnatural and a crime against nature for you to have sexual intercourse just for pleasure not being able to procreate? Isn’t there a reason why God did not get into specifics about intercourse and foreplay in the marriage bed. Do we fashion our sexual practices after what gays do between themselves? Heterosexuals were here first and everything that homosexuals do is to perverted and mimics how we perform and enjoy sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. To label what homosexuals do involving sexual intercourse(other than anal sex of course being that it is totally unnatural) as gay behavior, then we might as well consider kissing and holding hands as something queer also right? They are the perversion, not a heterosexual married couple joined as one flesh choosing to explore and satisfy each other sexually. The Webster’s 1828 simply states sodomy to be a crime against nature. That’s it. They were smart enough not to make rules for the marriage bed between a man and a woman. A crime against nature is a man with a man or a woman with a woman. I just cannot see that a husband and wife are not allowed to sexually arouse each other in any other way or motive other than to conceive a child. Did Solomon want to have children with all of his wife’s and concubines? Did King David want to have a child with Beersheba? I think that there have always been people who choose to see and feel more conservatively/extreme about things than others. And where the Bible rules the Bible rules I will not debate it. Better safe than sorry! But a lot of the original laws conceived in this country were extremely out of whack of good judgment. If you choose to respect one of them than they all must be golden right? The Puritans would punish wives for not having sex with thier husbands. Sodomy laws originaly seem to have been put into place by King Henry VIII . He was a believer in core Catholic theological teachings, even after his excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. Henry is famously remembered for having six wives—two of whom he had beheaded—which helped to make him a cultural icon, with many books, films, plays, and television series based around him and his wives. Later in his life he became morbidly obese and his health suffered; his public image is frequently depicted as one of a lustful, egotistical, harsh and insecure king. This doesn’t sound like a man that should be regulating what goes on in a marriage bed. He also believed in burning witches and hanging sodomites? This seems to be where our countries sodomy laws originate from. I just have a hard time seeing something that my wife and I choose to do in our marriage bed whether it be hand play or mouth foreplay as being something that is defiling the land as some choose to put it. I have yet to see the specific scriptures forbidding it.I dont know if you have listened to any of Scott Johnsons teachings on the topic but he is very condeming and lacks solid research regarding why sodomy is defined the way that it is.Anyways, thanks for being honest. Sorry, to make this so long and graphic but if christian couple truly are performing sodomy by oraly pleasing each other than sombody needs to do a better job proving it so that they can repent of thier sin.
