Charlie Hebdo: Gun attack on French magazine kills 12

[Warren Dew]

You really only need to get the US to agree (not that that's an easy task either). Then the rest of the west and Israel fall into line and the UN would have some teeth to deal with shit in the third world.

Since when did Israel start adopting U.S. rules of engagement?

[pErvinalia]

The US is the only thing stopping Israel getting done over in the UN. Israel is in violation of 10's if not 100's of UNSC resolutions. It's only the US's vetoing acts that stop them being enforced. Not to mention that the US funds Israel.

And that's a very good thing...

[pErvinalia]

Yeah, sponsoring a terrorist nation is a great thing.

Israel isn't a terrorist nation, it's merely defending it's citizens from the surrounding terrorist nations.

[pErvinalia]

No wonder Merkans are surprised they are the target of terrorist attacks.

excuse me, "Fund your UN adventurism in Africa with your taxes, mate, not mine. We're too busy to handle our own adventurism."

The UN is supposed to be about issues of the world, not just Merka.

And yet it's usually about bashing the US while simultaneously begging it for relief money and military adventurism.

I don't remember anyone begging you to invade Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Vietnam ...

Not the natives anyway.

[pErvinalia]

Merka doesn't need no stinkin' invite! Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Vietnam... all your base are belong to us!

[piscator]

The Taliban begged for it.

[mistermack]

I would like to announce to the French nation, that I'm here, and ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in their hour of defiance.

Or even groin-to-groin with some of the prettier ones. I'm more than happy to offer them my solidarity.

[laklak]

Me too. But then again, solidarity doesn't cost anything. I can sit here and be in solidarity all day with them and still have my cold beer to hand.

I love the hyper-reaction to 12 dead journos. We've got world leaders marching resolutely down the streets of Paris, dude! All power to the people..er...I mean all power to the friendly nation states standing in solidarity! Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Boko Haram slaughters a couple of thousand nig-nogs and there's a small article on the 2nd page, because they're nig-nogs, after all. And they can't make decent cheese.

I particularly love the outrage from my lefty friends. OMG they're attacking the very fabric of our society!!!!!! Except of course if you're Condoliza Rice and are invited to speak at a university, in that case shut the fuck up and sit down you Aunt Tomasina.

If you're a homophobic, anti-democratic, misogynistic, religious nutter of the Islamic persuasion then you're an outlier and the vast majority of Muslims aren't like that at all, they're just like us (except different). However, if you're a conservative or a Southerner then you're just a piece of shit unfit for human company, and you're ALL like that. Particularly if you own a gun, then you should be jailed or simply killed. No point in mincing words.

Happy Hypocrisy Day, ya'll!

[Hermit]

We've got world leaders marching resolutely down the streets of Paris, dude!

Except they were not. They posed in the hermetically sealed off Rue Voltaire with a simulated crowd behind them.

Part of the real crowd:

The two photos were taken at two different times. The politicians were forming the head of the march. The group photo was taken before the march.

[cronus]

They don't look confident. Bibi looks like he's been arrested, for something or other.
