Oh, that'll shut'm down, awright...!
From the "Closing the Barn Door After The Horse Has Escaped" department...our International Saviors at the UNbelievably stupid have banned WMD sales to terrorists.
The U.N. Security Council has put terrorists, black marketeers and crooked scientists on notice that they face punishment for trafficking in weapons of mass destruction.
Seven months after President Bush called for U.N. action, the council voted unanimously Wednesday to close a loophole that allowed would-be proliferators to get nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

The five declared nuclear powers who are permanent council members - France, the United States, Britain, Russia, China _ spent months reaching agreement on a text which was then submitted to the 10 non-permanent council members and discussed with the wider U.N. membership.
"The importance of this resolution should not be underestimated," British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said in a statement. "The resolution shows that the international community is determined to respond. It makes clear that all states have a responsibility to take steps to prevent WMD proliferation."
Oh, that'll show 'em, alright. I can suuuuuure sleep now, can't I?
