No, no - it's your buddy from Iran, remember? The one that wants to wipe Israel off the map.

I could count on one of Fastpat's favorites - the United Nations - to really put those Iranians in their place. What a great idea! Put them on a disarmament commission!



Iran elected deputy for Asian nations of UN Commission on Disarmament
New York, April 11, IRNA

UN-Disarmament-Iran
United Nations Commission on Disarmament on Tuesday elected Iran as deputy for Asian nations.

The UN Commission opened its annual meeting on Monday which will work until April 28.

The UN Commission on Disarmament which is subsidiary organ of the General Assembly will review disarmament and international security.

The Commission could not reach unanimity in the past two year owing to US objection to put disarmament on the agenda of the specialized commission and adopt an action plan for enforcing disarmament at international level.

Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states have pushed for the agenda of disarmament and Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in the current annual meeting.

NAM member states issued a statement on the first day of the annual meeting calling on nuclear states to respect their commitments of demolishing their nuclear arms.

They also called on Israel to sign up to NPT and give access to all its nuclear sites for monitoring by UN nuclear agency.

Well, since I don't really have a clue then everything in Europe must be quite peaceful - as long as everyone abides by Islamic law anyway.

This recent story from Norway must be about the Easter bunny. And this one from Sweden tells another peaceful story.
The brilliant European expert Fastpat will be happy to translate these stories and give us the details. And when he's done I have plenty more for him.

that's all over now
besides, you quoted germany and france, not norway and sweden

It sure did work well for France. After all, if they hadn't objected to the Iraq war then who knows, maybe twice as many cars would have been burned last year.

cars get burned in the banlieus every year. and have been getting burned for the last 10 years... it just never makes the news... this time , it did make the news, because they burned the quote for the whole year in a few weeks

Guess these honor killings aren't anything to get worked up over either. No life imprisonment for the killers though - now that might trigger some violent protests and we can't have any of that. Gotta keep the peace you know.

that's not really riotting now is it? i'm sure there have been isolated "honor" incidents in the us as well, may or may not have made the news. Then thereis hte KKK , the militias, the gang wars in the US... there's still more murders in the US then anywhere in Europe... is that called civil unrest as well??

Yes, that was long ago in the past a few weeks or so. All over, please move along now. Thought I'd just start in Scandinavia and work south, since I mentioned Europe.

True, the car burnings have been such a common occurrence that it only makes the news when they burn maybe more than 100 a night.

But that sort of thing is normal for the US. Europe is more refined and civilized, so is not supposed to have these problems - right? I agree, honor killings are not rioting. The rioting will begin when the government enforces strict punishment for the murderers, which they have not and probably won't.

The US definitely has a lot of problems, especially related to illegal immigrants breaking the law, drug smuggling, and gangs. One fortunate thing is our 'immigrants' predominantly belong to a religion that is common with that of the majority of our citizens. If they were coming over here with their Korans then we'd be facing the same problems Europe has today.

Best wishes to you all with getting control of the takeover. I am very glad we have the oceans between us, as it will hopefully be many years before Iran has ICBM capability.

If France and Germany want Iran to remain free from US government attacks, then they could stop any such attacks.

And just precisely how would they do that Pat? The strategy seems to have worked so well with Iraq, I'm just wondering if there are any new refinements to their techniques that you're privy to that us ordinary people would like to know about?

By sending troops to Iran to assist their self defense, stationing French ships and subs in the Persian Gulf, and warning the US government not to attack.

It would work beautifully.

The French and the German's have first class weaponry.

Wow, you have the answers to EVERYTHING.

And if you don't, they are just a cut-and-paste away!

Haha! Yeah, that would work great Pat, because the French and Germans are really happy with the Iranians right now, and think they should be doing nothing else but uranium enrichment!

Your insight amazes me!
