For the 18th year in a row, an almost-unanimous United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday condemned the so-called "embargo" against Cuba by the island nation's fifth biggest trading partner, the United States.
And for about the 50th year in a row, not a word from the General Assembly about the real embargo — no freedom of expression, no freedom to travel, no freedom to make a living, no freedom, period — enforced against the Cuban people by the Castro dictatorship.
Men of good faith and goodwill can disagree about the merits of the embargo — after all, it has not brought down the Castro regime after all that time.
But for the United Nations to chastise the United States while ignoring the suffering of the Cuban people brought by the Cuban government, only reveals how it has been co-opted by Cuban diplomatic foolery and how morally bankrupt an institution it really is.
And how far the cause of Cuban liberty has to go before the nation is free.
