The UN is a cess pool of corruption, horse-trading and fecklessness. Why should we care what they say, and why does the world think the UN conveys some sort of "legitimacy"?

Pekka, I think you meant 'doves', not 'pigeons'. 'Pigeons' has a significantly different connotation.





















Okay, maybe you did mean 'pigeons'.

The Mad Monk, btw, what connections does the word pigeon have? Is it like a dirty bird, as doves are the symbol of peace?

They're called chickenhawks because they never did military service (IIRC).

I use the term 'Chickenhawk' on CFC, and it makes people sad.

A pigeon is an old slang term for a sucker, an easy mark, good pickens for con men, hustlers, and others who prey on the weak (of mind).

That's a funny fowl from the southern hemisphere that swims better than it walks, and flies not at all.

The question, is not, whether Mr. Bush has gone mad, but, whether he has become, madder.

How would attacking Iraq stop terrirst funding and keep terrorirsts from having a place to hide? The terrorists funding comes from Saudi Arabia and they're hiding in Pakistan.
