#1 There is a snake in the bathroom. What shall we do?

U.S.: Kill the Snake
France: Run away! Run Away!
U.N.: Lets form a comission on reptiles and hope that, someday, we will be able to deal with snakes.

#2 A f***ing committee? A f***ing committee??
Mr. Secretary-General?
Yes?
There's genocide going on in (insert sh**hole country here)!
Why thank you, Mr. Special Rapporteur! We'll get right on it.
I am stunned by the dream-world these idiots are living in.

#3 Maybe they can hit them with those big leather conference chairs. That's if they can hire some locals to lift them for them.

#5 During his tenure Annan has done nothing to halt the continuing genocide in the Sudan. Despite the death of more than two million southern Sudanese over a prolonged period of time the UN has turned a blind eye to the tragedy. It has been satisfied to feed the millions of refugees generated by the Islamist government in Khartoum. Why? Because it gives lots of work to UN bureaucrats.

#6 Spot, nice try but off.

Lackey: Mr Secretary-General?
Kofi: Yes?
Lackey:There's a genocide going on in (insert sh**hole country here)!
Kofi: Why thank you, Mr. Special Rapporteur, can we blame the Americans?
Lackey:Well sir they had nothing to do with the country but so far they have failed to stop the conflict.
Kofi: Excellent, I'll expect a presentation by midweek.

#7 No genocide has EVER been perpetrated against an armed populace. Draw your own conclusions.

#8 Ruprecht (the crown prince?)-
Actually the true bureaucratic response would be to form a subcommittee to study the situation: "We'll get back to you on that!"

#9 And the UN is actually aiding and abetting Arafish's genocide attempt.

#10 MY point is that the goal of the UN is not to stop genocide, but to pin blame. It often takes very little research to lay blame, often even bureacrats have the gut instinct knee-jerk blame America (or Israel) response. The committes will just confirm this later with an official UN report nobody will read.

#11 Judith: "Reg, Reg!, Brians been taken prisoner!!. We've got to *do* something!"

#12 MY point is that the goal of the UN is not to stop genocide, but to pin blame

Bzzzt! Wrong answer.

The goal of the UN is the same as every leftinger and leftwing organization: deprecate and bring down the defenses of America so it can be destroyed.

I am, howver, willing to make an in-kind contribution to the UN: A week of my time and my pickup truck. I will help pack you communistic f*ckers to the piers of New York so we can ship your socialist asses to Eurostan.

#13 Today's trivia question is - Which two east african states were a United Nations Trust Territory?

Give the prize to the person who said Rwanda and Burundi.

Of course there is no possible causal link between the UN being responsible and large scale civilian masssacres.
