"It is extremely troubling to see countries which are members of the United Nations pontificate, call into question and cloud the meaning of international law and dehumanizing the victims of these past 12 months."

Those words conjured up an image of a mass of voters who could not be heard over the din of the protesters and activists clamouring for political and social change.
