#1 Man, is the gov't of Myanmar in trouble now. No doubt, as we type, some intrepid under-under-secretary of something at the UN is putting together a list of candidates (like, Libya, Cuba and the Sudan) for a group to study the feasibility of threatening Myanmar with the possibility of sanctions!

#2 If I ever get in trouble somewhere and I hear the UN is coming to get me, I think I'll just go ahead and ask for the blindfold.

#3 No way. We're not going to be anybody's bad-ass dog. The UN claims competence. Fine. Let's see some.

#4 Mojo, I'm not saying the Marines should land (though I'm not opposed to it in principle, since I think the Burmese would rise up to support us). Just park the carrier group off the coast and see how fast the Euro-elites would change their tune. They'd end up supporting the junta faster than you could say "Wolfowitz."
