U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned on Friday that airstrikes against Islamist militants in Iraq could be counter-productive unless moves were made to create an inclusive government.

Did he comment on the potential productivity of air strikes on the UN HQ itself, or was that so obvious that it needed no commentary?

The most productive thing would be to strap Ban Ki-moon to a MOAB and drop him and it on downtown Tehran.
