U.N. run the Internet?

[RoadClosed]

United Nations Internet Council:


U.N.: Kerblakistan you have been accused of invading internet countries with trojans and worms. In addition your zombie servers are storing up weapons of mass Denial of Service(WMD). You are to stop immediately with resolution v1.0

Kerblakistan: Hey, you are busting my balls here. I have no WMD and that unauthorized network intrustion was a lie! You capitolist pigs.... oh my foreign minister says there is no spoon. Sorry, won't happen again.

U.N.: Ok we believe you, but please open your servers to WMD inspection. Comply with resolution v1.1 please.

Kerblakistan: Ok there you go.

U.N.: Umm access denied, comply with resoution v1.2 please

Kerblakistan: Ok there you go, had a problem with access control

U.N.: Ummm, Access restricted to perimeter. Please comply with resolution v1.3 please

Kerblakistan: Ha, you will never believe this. Somehow your access was deleted. We have to rebuild the gateway, come back in 2 years. I'll tell ya, these things are tricky.

U.N.: You are in breach of resolution v1.1 - You have been placed in the warning loop. Warning comply, Warning Comply, Warning Comply..... beep beep

Kerblakistan: OK we have installed Jihad Linux. It's locked down pretty tight so now you can have access.

U.N.: We still don't have access to the core servers.

Kerblakistan: Oops. You have violated access controls on moved servers. You are therefore permanetaly locked out. Sorry Hans Blix, there is NOTHING I can do. User ID terminated.

U.N. ?

U.S.A. **** this, system overload initiated. Nmap scan complete. Access Granted.

Kerblakistan: Private Message - he he. Jihad Linux MF. Core safe Public Message - Infadels! You are killing my OS.

U.N. Geaorge W Bush you are in violation of ... of.... hmmm you are in violation of international something or other... we don't like you! Get out of Kerblakistan DNS servers.

U.S.A. pawnd bitch. Appling resolution v1.1, 1.2, 1.3 patches. System reboot iminent.

What I find ironic is that we have totally irrelevant nations squeaking about democratic principles............principles that they are incapable of applying to their own citizens in their own countries.

You mean like the US? :P
