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

#3 EU foreign ministers were likely to discuss the matter on Monday, he added, calling European cooperation in the case "precious".

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

#4 If i wuz the head of a small country, id try to position this as something involving a larger group I belong to, instead of just my country.

#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...

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

#7 Which is in fact loads more effective than the UN, just as a tortoise is faster than a slug.

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.

#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.

#11 Answer to the problem. Tell the diaperheads to shut the fu@k up. When they don't, nuke mecca, twice for good measure.
