It's a good basic axiom that if you take a quart of ice-cream and a quart of dog faeces and mix 'em together the result will taste more like the latter than the former.

BEST ARTICLE OPENER EVER!

"...UN territories like Kosovo are the global equivalent of inner-city council estates with the blue helmets as local enforcers for the absentee slum landlord. By contrast, a couple of years after imperialist warmonger Bush showed up, Afghanistan and Iraq have elections, presidents and prime ministers."

Funny how that works.

Wow, that was an autopsy on a live patient with no anesthetic! Steyn slams another one out of the park.

Exactly - a brilliant surgical slicing of the UN.

<< It's a good basic axiom that if you take a quart of ice-cream and a quart of dog faeces and mix 'em together the result will taste more like the latter than the former.

Now how about this? The Third Infantry Division are raping nine-year olds in Ramadi. Ready, set, go! That thundering sound outside your window isn't the new IKEA sale, but the great herd of BBC/CNN/Independent/Guardian/New York Times/Le Monde/Sydney Morning Herald/Irish Times/Cork Examiner reporters stampeding to the Sunni Triangle. Whoa, hold up, lads, it's only hypothetical. >>

The dead and decadent Euro-peon sophists [Who, to the last cretinism-suffering supercillious snot, confuse their sophistry with "superiority"] take great pleasure from disdaining US poor rubes less nuanced take on the world's evil and greater pride in their "diplomatic skills -- as do their every-bit-as-cretinously-sophist slut-like lickspittles among our nation's leftists, in its pressrooms, on its editorial boards -- and in the DNC.

And yet, it turns out that as we poor nuance-challenged already knew -- and Mr Steyn so masterfully expresses here -- all that's different between US and them is that US poor rubes know the difference between dogsh*t and strawberry icecream!

Steyn's depiction of the UN left a bad taste in my mouth.

However..will our faithful politicians ever get the message that the UN is corrupt to the core, that whatever it does turns to doggie doo, an organization that inevitably transfers UN funds to private bank accounts (billions of which the US taxpayer donates to them), and shows general disdain for America and our laws. Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN now! That we are still contributing members is infuriating. Call and write your Reps and Sinators!

<< Those British officials trying to rationalise Oil-for-Fraud or child sex rings give the game away: it's not just the underage Congolese girls who get corrupted by contact with the UN. >>

Got to keep the old tools sharpened, old man.

Shame to put all of that imperialistic colonial [Cretinism-suffering supercilliously-snotty sophistry-dressed-as-"superiority"] expertise to waste, old FRuit.

Eh?

What!?

"UN forces – just a bunch of thugs?

Is this a trick question?
