From the yapping lap dog department


It does appear that the bigots, er, I mean diplomats at the U.N. engaged in some low ball shenanigans during the UN Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on Nov. 29, 2005. According to the website, Eye on the UN, the stage was set for the annual occasion complete with the U.N. flag, the Palestinian flag, top U.N. delegates, and Palestinian officials. In the center of the stage was a large map detailing the region of Palestine and labeled as Palestine. No Israel, just Palestine. Evidently, Israel had been 'wiped off the map'.
Israel has been a UN member state for 56 years.

Meanwhile, over at the yapping lap dog's anemic cousin, the Hague, Croatian war crimes suspect General Ante Gotovina has arrived in the Netherlands from Spain to face trial at the UN tribunal. The general is accused of murdering 150 Serb civilians in 1995.
Don't worry though.
I'm quite certain we can all get in a nap considering this esteemed body's urgency for justice towards Slobodan Milosevic.

On a more serious note; in a ruling that threatens to undermine the stability of the entire region, Pakistan's supreme court has extended the ban on kite flying.

You just can't make this stuff up.
