#8  Sorry, I abridged it a bit. Left out the study groups, junkets, and committees. It would have gotten too long. It was like the decision for the movie Lord of the Rings when they left Tom Bombadil out of the plot...

I am surprised. You left out the most cricial element of the UN springing into action:

The Three Day Conference with the opening banquent complete with fois gras and champagne. Hold it somewheres symbolic, like Daar Es Salaam.

#7  It's just a ZIONIST PLOT to distract
the World's attention from the PALESTINIAN
CAUSE.

You can't know unless you go to Sudan yourself.

#1  Well, I am so relieved that the UN fears that the crisis is worsening. That means the hand wringing will begin, which is the precursor of debate at the General Assembly, which holds out hope for the security council, which will maybe produce a resolution, which means peacekeepers, and hercs and food and Blue Helmeted troops, AND WE ARE SAVED.......
uh
oh...
The dream is turning into a nightmare.....
The camera is shifting to the French delegate...
He is making a statement....
Damn! It is in French...
I don't know French....
OH NO!!!!!!! NO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I don't know French, but his movement is
SEARING SEARING SEARING into my mind.
He just issued a VETO against the resolution!!
Damn him to HELL
Damn him to the basement of hell underneath Adolph Hitler!!!
Jeeze! We are DOOMED!!!!
DOOMED, I tell ya.
Maybe the Yanks will do it.
I know that they are busy,
Everyone is sh*tting on them.
Maybe the Yanks will save us...
Got...to...hold...on...........
