UN may have to solve cartoon row, says Danish PM
2006-02-24
A worldwide row over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) may have to be solved through the United Nations, said Danish Prime Minster Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Thursday. "I would not rule out the idea that, at the end of the day, the solution to the crisis will be found at the UN," Rasmussen told reporters after a meeting of parliament's foreign policy committee.
I think I would. Matter of fact, the idea never even occurred to me.
He said he still favoured a Europe-led solution to the crisis, noting that the crisis between Denmark and the Muslim countries had evolved into a matter for the European Union.
Which is in fact loads more effective than the UN, just as a tortoise is faster than a slug.
EU foreign ministers were likely to discuss the matter on Monday, he added, calling European cooperation in the case "precious".

#9  Turn it over to the 'World Court'. How many years has Slobodan Milosevic been in the docket?

#8  I, for one, think that this is a splendid idea. Imagine what perfect reciprocity the Arab world would experience. Consider the endless letters of reprimand and innumerable stern warnings issuing forth from First Avenue and 46th Street. It would be a perfect mirror of the same dynamic and steely resolve shown by the UN towards condemning Arab anti-Semitism. Reaching a final position and path of action with respect to the Danish cartoons could take years, maybe even decades! By all means, let the UN resolve this nettlesome and vital issue.

ROFLMAO! Fred, that is a classic in the RB vernacular. Into the files it goes! If we look at this story, we realize the Europe has a long way to go before it will stand up to Islam for its own rights and heritage.

#6  Maybe the UN can form a joint commitee with the Arab League and figure out...where they're gonna eat?

#5  Me, too, LH. Just not sure the UN can fill those shoes. If I had just one word to describe the UN, what would it be? Ethicless? Impotent? Catatonic?

Nah, cuckoo seems to fit best...

Ya know, when I refer to the actions of adults as "precious", it's usually meant sarcastically.

#2  Is Rasmussen known for his humour? European foreign ministers are certainly precious.
