re: #324 NJDhockeyfan

I’m wondering if they will even begin. Mo is saying he will have beat the anti-govt forces within 24 hours. Why did it take the damn UN a month to finally approve this?

I’m sure none of it has anything to do with the fact that when a bad outcome happens despite UN involvement, we’re treated to 6 months of focused media coverage of how awful and useless the UN is; while if a positive outcome follows UN action, the next 6 months of analysis consists of how utterly unnecessary the UN action was, because everything would have worked itself out on its own.
