World leaders from Pakistan to Ukraine unleashed their regional grievances Wednesday, taking the stage of the U.N. General Assembly to rage against their neighbors and presenting a picture of a chaotic world consumed by intractable conflicts. A few paces from the General Assembly hall, the United States and Russia bitterly attacked each other during a Security Council meeting meant to salvage Syria's faltering cease-fire. Colombia basked in world praise when it presented its newly reached peace agreement with leftist rebels to the Security Council. He urged unity in the Security Council to confront the North Korean threat. "In a time of armed conflicts in many other paces, peace in Colombia sends a powerful message of hope in the world," Ban said.
