(2005-03-20) -- In his first major move against world terrorism, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is prepared to propose that suicide bombers face lengthy jail terms, along with other sweeping reforms designed to restore the organization's tarnished image.
"If you blow yourself up and kill innocent civilians, my plan calls for 10-to-20 years in a medium-security prison," said Mr. Annan. "This sends a message that civilized nations have limited patience, and virtually no tolerance, for terrorism."
Mr. Annan's proposal is part of a broader strategy to reform the discredited world body which, under his leadership, has been rocked by sexual abuse scandals, financial scandals and the oil-for-food funding of Saddam Hussein's military buildup, in addition to the decades-long failure of international diplomats to pay New York City parking tickets.
"We're committed to the spread of freedom throughout the world, and when oppressed people cry out for their liberty we will stand with them," Mr. Annan told a news conference, but then quickly issued a retraction. "Forgive me, I accidentally read from a White House news release. The preceding statement does not represent the opinion of the Secretary-General, the Security Council or any U.N. agency."
Are we putting the remains in a bucket in the closet or using that ghost busters spirit catcher thing to keep them from their virgins?
Those Scrappleface headlines get me everytime! Thanks for the chuckles.
If you have not already done so, please sign the petition to get the UN out of the USA. Let's help relocate these anti-American thugs to some 3rd world shithole where they belong.

This is not as much parody as prophecy! (ROTFLMAOPMP)
Annan drafts changes for beleaguered U.N.
UNITED NATIONS – Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Monday will propose new rules for the use of military force, adopting a tough anti-terrorism treaty that would punish suicide bombers and overhauling the United Nations’ discredited human rights commission, according to a confidential draft of a report on the proposals.
Yes it is, but in order for it to be funny, there must be an element of truth in it. If it were true, it would be something so stupid, only the UN or a Democrat could think of it.
At least he didn't say they deserved 72 virgins.
Uh, if you blow yourself up, you're DEAD, right? what is this idiot proposing, prison for body parts? Sheese.....
;-)
Pssst... read reply #1.
There is enough truth in it to make it funny.
Are you sure they are talking about Annan? It sounds just like Bill Clinton's term in office. LOL
UN has been developing more humane suicide bombs which will preserve the bombist unharmed, so heshe can be properly punished by serving in jail with Marta Steeeuwort.
Thanks, I did, but that dumb*ss Kofi statement was just too good to pass up. Dead people in prison. Typical leftist thinking.
very french, no death penalty.
Annans proposals are DOA.
