#1 Good to know the UN is looking out for all of us!

#2 No need for people to defend themselves. Governments (and the UN) will defend people - the same way they defended the Armenians, the Jews, the Cambodians, and the Tutsis.

#3 Find sharp corner. Bang head repeatedly until the pain of this proclamation diminishes.

Sure it's a right, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

And we all know how well the UN will protect your interests. For an example, just look at, uh, err, the goats in . . . no, the children in . . . no, Israel's conflict with . . . . Forget it.

Stooooopid! Stooooopid!

Where do they find these guys? What horrible twist of fate gave them brains that see logic in this? Are we talking about the same thing here? This is why people banded together into tribes, states, and countries, fer Gawd's sake! It's all based on the law of the jungle no matter how you cut it.

Gah!

Where's my filing cabinet?

#5 As I remember my pre WWII history, submarine warfare was considered immoral, merchant shipping would never be attacked, cities would never be bombed and a bunch of other stuff I forget.
But when the shooting started, these perceptions all went away almost instantly. Whatever it took to win was done. Ruthlessly.
Hopefully, this useless, ineffectual organization of know nothing international bureacrats and hacks goes the same way. The only thing it's good for is obstructing victory.

#6 The only thing it's good for is obstructing victory.

Got to disagree with you on this point, TU.

1. Endless laughter at all of their bone-headed shenanigans.

2. Sure-fire moral compass check. What would Kofi Annan do? Do the exact opposite.
