Master satirist Scott Ott at Scrappleface finds a way to unite the world against terrorism:
Although the United Nations lacks a consensus definition of "terrorism" and has no substantive anti-terror program, Secretary-General Kofi Annan today said that yesterday's bombings in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt, that killed more than 85 people, may violate the Kyoto protocols on climate change.Kind of like nailing Al Capone for tax evasion, I guess.
"The global concept of terrorism is hazy and subjective," said Mr. Annan, "but almost everyone agrees that blowing such a quantity of smoke, debris and blood-borne pathogens into our atmosphere is an unmitigated evil."
The Secretary-General called for the U.N. Security Council to issue "a stern resolution against this egregious pollution of Mother Earth, even if the justification for the bombings is debatable among civilized people."
"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," Mr. Annan said. "But the horrifying consequences of unregulated emissions is a crisis that transcends culture and ideology, and demands immediate and vigorous action."

There are so many single incidences that, in and of themselves, should satisfy (and win!) any argument I might have with Pro-UN / Anti-Bush people (to whom I have said, many times, that there is a place for an international cooperative organization, but the U.N. isn't it, and shouldn't be given that power by dint of the fact that they are the only one at present).
This one, however, really takes the cake for demonstrating the sheer ridiculousness, the raging ineptitude, the complete dissociation from reality that is the hallmark of the United Nations. People were brutally ripped apart by the blasts at Sharm el-Sheik, and the UN's problem is with the emissions the bomb released into the atmosphere?
And Pro-UN people wonder why I want to rip the hair out of my head when I read things like this -- Argh!
