U.N. Votes 188 to 2 Against Embargo of Cuba; U.S., Israel Only Dissenters 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations General Assembly has voted nearly unanimously to
condemn the U.S. embargo on Cuba for the 23rd year in a row. Just like
last year, the vote was 188 to 2 with only Israel joining the United
States. Three countries abstained: Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall
Islands.
