#1 The United Nations Security Council is discussing resolution drafted by the United States for an immediate travel and arms ban on the Arabic Janjaweed militia

#3 Uh-huh. I don't suppose they considered the damage that has been done and will continue to be done with the weapons they already have? No, that would be expecting too much of today's UN.

#4 ...The UN is really starting to remind me of Count Floyd, the horror movie host Joe Flarhety used to play on SCTV - well dressed, utterly ineffectual, and with an indeterminate accent:

*bad Dracula impression on*
"BOO! Now THAT'S scary!!"
*bad Dracula impression off*

#5 An"arms ban"is going to be real effective in a part of the world where you can by an AK-47 for $50.

#6 I better hurry if I want to vacation in Sudan before the travel ban.

#7 I'm sure these names strike fear in *someone's* heart, but when I see groups called "the ganjaweed militia" and "the MILF" I'm just not intimidated.

#8 MILF has a certain, ahem, adult connotation that makes the name really laughable.
