1. Dude, I was thinking that the instant I saw the name of your thread.
Now the only question now is how can we secretly manufacture a bunch of flying saucers without anybody knowing...

8. Interesting proposal from Moamer Kadhafi
Last year, Moamer Kadhafi proposed putting together a committee of "wise men" that included President Clinton, Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev. The three of them would work to solve world problems.

Libya says 'wise man' Bill Clinton should resolve world's wars

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Libya offered some colourful ideas for reforming the United Nations (news - web sites), including moving the General Assembly to Geneva and letting Bill Clinton (news - web sites) resolve the world's conflicts and wars.

Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, never shy about putting forward visionary proposals, also wants his nation to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, Libyan Foreign Minister Abdurrahman Mohamed Shalghem said.


"The past 59 years have proven that the General Assembly is merely a decorative body without a soul," Shalghem said as Libya took the podium at the annual United Nations debate of world leaders which concludes this week.


He said key powers invested in the 15-nation Security Council, such as the legal authority for military action, should be transferred to the assembly, which groups all 191 UN member states.


"If this cannot be accomplished, we have no choice but to abandon the General Assembly and stop infusing money into this dead body," Shalghem said.


He also said Kadhafi wanted to see next year's session, on the 60th anniversary of the UN's founding, held in Geneva instead of at the UN headquarters in New York so that "all world leaders" can attend.


The implication was that Kadhafi would not want to visit the United States, a frequent sparring partner of his regime in Tripoli.


Kadhafi also wants the establishment of a "committee of wise men" to settle the world's conflicts and called on the United Nations to pass a resolution in support of his idea, Shalghem said.


The committee would be comprised of three former presidents -- Clinton of the United States, Mikhail Gorbachev of the now-defunct Soviet Union and Nelson Mandela from South Africa.


All world leaders approve of the proposal, Shalghem said.


He added that Kadhafi's future ideas would be posted on the Libyan leader's website, www.algathafi.org.


The site offers suggestions for solving some of the world's thorniest conflicts, including the creation of a unified state of Israel and Palestine to be called "Isratine."

11. Exactly......
I mean, can you imagine someone ever saying that "wise man" Bush should solve the world's wars and problems?

16. UN moving HQ to Geneva is no surprise in the wake of Bushler
I'd frankly not be surprised if Bushler sparked a US vs. World war.

14. Justice for war crimes
bush, his henchmen and blair and his, turned over to the hague to be
prosecuted for crimes against humanity and aggressive war.

15. absolutely. Aliens it is
they don't even have to be evil, just different.

OF course baptist bible beating braindead brickheads may have to consider suicide because their peabrains can't accept that input.

Unfortunately, seeing Faux broadcasts, Anne Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, and our very own president and VP, would any self-respecting alien even consider contacting us?

Remember Star Trek's Prime Directive. Kirk would have avoided this place like the plague. As would any sane alien.
