Ha, they couldn't keep Kofi's fingers out of the till and they couldn't make UN 'peacekeepers' behave themselves with helpless children... how could they stop an asteroid?

Their first act would be to pass a resolution blaming it on Israel.

Stopping an asteroid's one solution to the U.N. problem.

No, but an asteroid would be an effective way of crushing the UN to dust.

...involving the construction of a "Gravity Tractor,"...

Didn't Mr. Haney sell Mr. Douglas one of these?

If the UN can't stop two African tribes from cutting each other up with machetes, how on earth could they do anything worthwhile?

Actually, the UN would demand America turn over billions for their project while skimming from the top and then passing it to the French to actually implement.

We'd all die broke. In fact we'd probably die before the asteroid hit - from the French machine...

Someone needs to photoshop an asteroid hitting the U.N. building. :-)

Hint: The pantywaist bureaucrats there would still be trying to schedule "multi-party-talks" with the asteroid when it hit.

Cheers!

The UN IS a hemmorhoid. A bleeding pain in the rear, LOL.

No.

They'd shake it down for a donation... then rape it.

According to the show, "UFO Files", the official protocol for any object or life form coming to Earth, must be reviewed by the UN before any action is taken.

Will the Gravity Tractor be a Hybrid?

Will it burn dirty Diesel fuel?

Yeah! The UN will send the asteroid a sharply worded warning.

The UN would pay $50 million to the asteroid to avoid the earth but skim $49 million before the payout.

Well sure they could get together. And they will, they will all get together and DEMAND that America do something about it.
