UN adopts Pakistani resolution
2004-12-17
The UN General Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a resolution sponsored by Pakistan. The resolution called for the promotion of religious and cultural understanding, harmony and cooperation in the light of President Pervez Musharraf's concept of enlightened moderation. President Musharraf floated the idea of enlightened moderation in his speech to the 58th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
"Bartender! Warm milk for everyone!"
Twenty other countries, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Cape Verde, China, Costa Rica, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, Panama, Timor Leste, Sudan, Tajikistan, Togo and Tunisia co-sponsored the resolution along with Pakistan. The resolution reaffirms the solemn commitment of all states to human rights and freedom according to the charter of the United Nations. The resolution calls on the US secretary general to publish material related to the resolution and discuss the topic at the next session of the General Assembly.

#5  I'm so glad we're paying over a billion dollars a year so the U.N. can do this kind of valuable exercise!

#4  But let's first moderate Binny and the Doc.

I'm all for that. Let's moderate their body temperatures to match the ground they are to be buried in.

#2  Pervez Musharraf. Let me see.
A president for life of Pakistan who came to power by overthrowing the democratically elected goverment. Sponsor of Kashmiri terrorism the extent of which makes Paleosimians look like pikers, under whose rule Pakistan makes nuclear weapons technology available to Iran [have I forgoten something], calls for tolerance. Groovy.

#1  If I escaped a few murder attempts, I too would be pursuing "enlightened moderation." But let's first moderate Binny and the Doc.
