The UN is finally worth something
UN Security Council to Condemn North Korea Rocket Launch Monday
I am writing this post hanging my head a little, and feeling a little ashamed of myself for my past conduct and statements concerning the UN. I need to apologize and post a retraction for a post I made back in August of 2008 calling the UN just a bunch of Useless Nannies (Link to Post). After reading the story above, and contacting the UN myself to get some direct comments, I finally have to admit that they are coming through with some definite action against North Korea and that little pot bellied dictator of theirs, Kim Jong Ill. (BTW, this is very difficult for me to write, considering that being wrong is so rare for me.) With North Korea’s April 5th launch of a multi-stage rocket that flew over Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean, the UN is coming forth with some strong action against that little overweight whack job. The Security Council has been working hard over the weekend to come up with a statement condemning the launch. The UN spokesman that I contacted said that the UN was planning on delivering the condemnation in both written and oral format. The UN spokesman stated that the oral condemnation would be delivered using both harsh tones and strong language. He also said that the written condemnation was going to be printed on paper stock that would be the more likely to give the little tyrant a paper cut. He said that strong measures like this are necessary in times like these, and actions like this, by rouge nations would no longer be tolerated. I also contacted Pyongyang to get their reaction to the condemnation and paper cut threat to their fearless leader. The North Korean Minister of Public Relations himself spoke to me and said that they were planning on nuking the condemnation as soon as it arrived in the mail, and that they would not allow it near the Great Leader. I also questioned him about what they would do about the oral delivery of the condemnation and he stated that they were going to nuke that also. When I questioned the feasibility of that action, he started swearing at me in Korean so I just hung up. I called the UN back to get their reaction on the condemnation nuking threat, and they said that they were considering not going through with the condemnation after all, and that they had no further comments.



Wow, I am just blown away by the this over-the-top knee jerk reaction by the UN, I mean don’t they know that we all need to get along and that nothing can be solved by this kind of rhetoric, can’t we all just live and let live and just get along for cryin’ outloud. On a serious note have we learned nothing from history………Just asking?
